North West 10k invites charity nominations
Charities wishing to be beneficiaries of the 2013 North West 10k run and walk are asked to submit their applications to Anne Condon, Grand Canal Building, Paddy Harte Road, Letterkenny or email anne@letterkennychamber.com before Friday, January 25th.
The 17th Charity North West 10k Run & Walk will take place on Sunday, May 5th in Letterkenny.
Once again the committee will be providing a range of supports to the main charities who are successful in their applications. Just an expression of interest and contact details is required initially.
The 10k committee will then make contact with the interested charities to outline what is involved and the scale of the fundraising campaign ahead of next year’s event.
The 10k organisation will also be giving assistance and advice to all charities who formally register with them in the New Year.
Despite the tough economic times and the stiff competition from other high profile charities the 16th North West Run and Walk raised over €70,000.
Honourary Presidential role for Charlie Kelly
A long standing member of the North West 10k committee Charlie Kelly became the first Honouary President of the organization when he was elected to the position at last week’s Annual General Meeting in the Mount Errigal Hotel.
Mr Kelly has played a key role in the promotion of local athletics for well over three decades through his association with Letterkenny Athletic Club.
