Run For Change Society

Pub Night Fundraiser

admin — Wed, 18 Apr 2012 09:08:02 +0000

We are fundraising to cover the registration costs of 30 participants who had trained for 13 weeks to run in this year’s Vancouver Sun Run. We are aiming to raise at least $900 to cover the Sun Run registration costs, with any additional funding towards expenditures such as food/beverage for training sessions, RFC team T-shirts and our 3rd annual Fun Run event!

There will be a silent auction, 50/50 (1 for $2; 3 for $5; arm length for $20) and a beer & burger combo for $20 so please come out to support us at our pub night fundraiser! Don’t forget to invite your family, friends, colleagues & anyone else you can think of!

We’ll be in the party room but don’t worry, if it’s a game’s night, you can watch the game too! RSVP soon! Limited seating to 75 ppl!

As the poster mentions, don’t forget to come out on Sunday, May 6 to cheer for Team Run For Change’s runners as they run in their first BMO Vancouver Half Marathon (21k)! Feel free to print out the poster and post it where you see fit!

Cheers!
