Ian Pearce (in yellow) and his friend Tony running the Thame 10k
I’d like to say a massive thank you to Ian Pearce for raising £240 for Simakakata Community School by running the Thame 10k last Sunday. Ian started training in January for what was his first ever 10k race. Despite a couple of minor knee niggles I hear all went well on the day.
Mighty fine work sir!
Tom Foy, the president of Bucks Students' Union, presenting me with a cheque for £1,000.
I’d like to say a massive thank you to Bucks Students’ Union, who have raised a fantastic £1,000 for LearnAsOne this year.
The students have sold cakes, washed cars, done a jail break and will soon be sky diving to raise funds. This is the third year the RAG society have fundraised for LearnAsOne. In total they have now raised £3,808.42. All the money will help to buy raw materials for Simakakata Community School.
I’d like to thank all the staff and students who have contributed, with special mentions going to Alice Dewsnap and Kerry O’Neill for organising all the volunteering activity throughout the year. Loving your work girls!
If your RAG society would like to fundraise for LearnAsOne next year please leave a comment below or email me at [email protected].
2010/11 is the third year that Bucks Students’ Union have selected LearnAsOne as one of their RAG charities. It goes without saying that we are extremely grateful for their ongoing support.
Led by Volunteer Coordinator Alice Dewsnap, the student’s have organised a car wash, a 24-hour Zombie killing marathon, regular cake sales, a jail break and a street collection in the local town.
They’ve already raised over £500 this year with plenty more activities planned.
You can see a couple of piccies of the student’s raising the cash below.
Thanks guys! x
