Catlin End-to-End Raises More Than $200,000
Some of the standout participants and volunteers who made Bermuda’s largest and most inclusive charitable fund-raising event a success will receive awards for their efforts at a 5:30 p.m. ceremony at the Elbow Beach Hotel today [June 13]
On hand to mark the occasion will be Minister of Health & Seniors Patricia Gordon-Pamplin.
“Our 26th event was again a testament of how Bermuda can pull together to give back to the community,” said Anne Mello, chairman of the End-to-End Charitable Trust, which organises the annual event.
Despite the difficult Bermuda economy, participants in the event were able to raise more than $200,000 in pledges to distribute to nine local charities7.
“It is inspiring to consider what has been achieved by our more than 2,700 participants with their amazing fundraising efforts. We acknowledge that the successful outcome of the event is also due to the work of our 500+ volunteers and to the incredible support given to us by our Title Sponsor, Catlin Bermuda, our Platinum Sponsor CellOne, and all of the other organisations who offer their assistance,” Mrs. Mello added.
“Our ceremony on Thursday will not only entail the distribution of cheques to the selected charities, but will also give us the opportunity to formally thank some of those who were particularly outstanding in terms of the amount of pledges they raised, the creativity in their approach to their participation, or the sheer size of teams built to participate in the event.”
The Commissioner of Police, Michael DeSilva, will receive the Bermuda End-to-End Founders Trophy on behalf of the Bermuda Police Service for their vital support and assistance with the logistics of getting so many people from one end of the island to the other for 26 years!
The Catlin End-to-End’s mission is to be Bermuda’s premier annual charitable pledge event, committed to promoting the happiness and well-being of our island community through all-inclusive activities. You can view photo galleries and videos of this, and past years, End-to-End walk here.
