Show your support of the KM Charity Team by signing up to support the Ten Challenge
Organisations can show their support of the Kent and Medway Charity Team during its 10th anniversary year by signing up for the charity’s Ten Challenge.
Charity chairman Simon Dolby urged businesses to support 10 of the charity’s activities during 2010 to help it develop its health and wellbeing services in schools.
Simon said: “We have a fantastic list of fun and worthwhile activities and events that your staff will want to take part in or PR opportunities through sponsoring special anniversary events. Please help us to survive and thrive as a charity in this difficult recession by signing up to our Ten Challenge.”
You can support the KM Charity Team in lots of ways. Ideas include: Sponsoring our walk to school children’s 10th birthday event; encouraging your staff to take part in one of our abseil, zip wire and dragon boat challenges; sponsoring London Marathon competitor Allan Halse who is coming over from New Zealand to compete and raise funds for us; help raise the profile of a local walking bus by joining it on the walk to school.
