One in Four will be holding its Annual Silver Mile fundraiser on the 8th May 2009 on St. Stephen's Green, Dublin.
The aim of the event is to complete a mile of €2 coins around the perimeter of St. Stephen's Green. To do this, we will need to raise €64,000. We will also need some assistance on the day, so if you think you might be able to lend a hand, we would be delighted to hear from you (see contact information below).
How it works: The public is invited to give €2 coins which will be placed on the pavement side-by-side. This trail will gradually move around the entire perimeter of the park until we have successfully completed ‘The Silver Mile’.
The Silver Mile-A-Thon: Please note that this year we we are introducing a new concept called The Silver Mile-a-thon to help raise further much-needed funds. We are now encouraging people to create the most innovative mile in order to raise funds. They can skip a mile, read a mile, sing a mile, dance a mile run a mile - whatever the individual likes. If this sounds like your kind of thing, and you would like a sponsorship card, then give Lesley a call, or drop her an email, using the contact information below.
Use of Funds Collected: It costs €1.2 million each year to provide our services for women and men who have experienced sexual violence. While we receive some state funding, €450,000 must be raised annually through fundraising events such as this, generous donors and client contributions.
