End-to-End 2011 Launches Online Registration
The Catlin End-to-End Event – Bermuda’s largest fund-raising event – has launched online registration and online pledging through its website Bermudaendtoend.bm
It has also begun distributing brightly coloured brochures that include maps for the island-wide course and pledge sheets for participants and supporters.
In-person registration for this year’s event will take place May 2 – May 6 from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. at M3 Wireless at its new location in Washington Mall 3, on 18 Church Street. Extended registration until 7 p.m. is available on May 4. In-person payment for registration is by cheque. Participants must also visit this location before the event to collect their T-shirts and goodie bags.
“We are urging everyone in the community to register for this year’s event, or to pledge their support for it,” says Anne Mello, Chair of the End to End Charitable Trust, which organizes the event. The event day is more than just a fitness challenge and bonding experience for the 2,500 participants who take part. The pledges they collect, and the online pledges made by generous individuals, are crucial to the charities supported by the event.
“We continue to be aware of the many challenges our local community faces, including the economic slowdown and increasing social challenges,” says Mrs. Mello. “The charities this event supports are on the front lines of helping those in our community who need it most.”
All pledge monies raised – about $250,000 in most years – go directly to a variety of charities, which change from year to year. Funds raised by this year’s Catlin End-to-End will support 11 local charities, with an emphasis on youth, families and seniors.
