I am
pleased to invite you to become involved in a new and unique
fundraising event which is taking place in Peterborough this August in aid of
Cancer Research UK and the Peterborough Special Care Unit at Peterborough
District Hospital.
32
individuals will be coming together on the August bank holiday weekend at Bushfields
Sports Centre and will be trying to set a new 30 hour World Record for the
Longest continuous Outdoor Field Hockey match. The event is being run alongside
a field hockey festival at the same venue and in all we hope to raise over £10,000
for our chosen charities.
There
are a variety of ways you can support our cause with varying levels of
commitment in terms of cost and with various sizeable returns in terms of
advertising and potential exposure for your company.
Donate a Prize
to our Raffle
We
are running an a raffle through our dedicated website and at the event, any
company donating a prize will get a dedicated thank you page on our website which
can be then branded with your company logo and content of your choice. Tickets
will be sold both locally and online from the middle of July.
Sponsor a
Players Shirt - £200
Each
of the 32 playing shirts being worn in the World Record attempt can be
sponsored by your company. In return you will have the logo put on the shirt
which will be worn for the full length of the event and which will appear in
all the photographs taken by the press. You will also get a dedicated page on
our website, a half page full colour advert in our Event Handbook and space to
hang a banner at the Venue for the entire weekend.

International charities. 1 in 3 people are affected by Cancer at some point in
their lifetime. If we can get 1 in 3 companies that receive this letter to make
a donation or sponsor a players shirt it will help us to help Cancer Research
UK make a difference.
