Sponsorship Appeal
Relay for Life is coming to Kilkenny for the
first time ever in 2013 and we would like to invite your business to be part of
this wonderful community event!
The Irish Cancer Society’s Relay for Life is
an event that brings communities together to celebrate local cancer survivors,
remember those who have passed away, and fight back against cancer by raising vital funds for
research projects and community services. It is
a unique, empowering and fun event in which everyone can participate and make a
real difference for people living with cancer right now, and those who may
be diagnosed in the future. A Survivors’ Lap of Honour opens every Relay
for Life event worldwide, celebrating those who have fought the
disease. At dusk, participants and community members pause to remember
those who lost their battle in a very special Candle of Hope Ceremony.
The Candle of Hope luminaries line the track all night and act as a reminder to
participants of the courageous men, women and children who have battled cancer.
This is a large event, which takes place over
24 hours and involves hundreds of participants, guests and volunteers. Relay
for Life Kilkenny is being planned by a volunteer organising committee,
donating their experience, expertise and enthusiasm to help make this event a
success. However, along with the thousands of volunteer hours, donations of
goods and services will be essential. Community support and assistance is
critical for the success of this great event!
We are offering local businesses the
opportunity to become a partner with Relay for Life Kilkenny. We would love to
know if your business would like to sponsor this event, either through donations in kind or financial contributions. It’s only through generous
sponsorship that we’ll be able to host events such as a special Survivors’ Dinner and a Carers’
Tea as well as offset operational costs of the event.
Please contact us and we'll send along a Sponsorship Form.
Yours in the Relay
Spirit,
Josephine Kelly,
Chairperson
