Beverley Town Cricket Club Major Fund Raiser Needs You!

Beverley Town Cricket Club is already well under way in planning its major fund-raising event for 2012.

2012 is the 150th anniversary of what we know as the modern Beverley Town Cricket Club and to help celebrate that landmark the club members and friends are tackling the Three Peaks Challenge.

This means climbing the three highest peaks in England, Wales and Scotland within 24 hours. This event will take place in August 2012.

This will be the fourth major fundraiser undertaken by the cricket club in recent years but for 2012 they are looking for a worthy cause to donate money to. They are looking for a group or family to join them in the challenge in September 2012.

All proceeds raised will be shared equally between the cricket club and the chosen charity of the group or families choice.

The previous three events have been the Great North Run (£5000 raised, £2500 to Yorkshire Cancer Research); The Lyke Wake Walk (£8000 raised, £4000 to the Children’s Heart Surgery Fund); and the Wolds Way (£10000 raised, £5000 to the MS Society).

These events have raised much needed funds for causes that are important to club members and their families but now the club needs your help.

If you have a great cause your family or group would like to raise money for and you are willing to take part in the event and work hard to attract sponsorship please contact the cricket club 1st XI captain Alan Acklam on alanacklam@hotmail.com or call him on 07974 012055 for more information.
