Celebrate Aberdeen – get involved now!Celebrate Aberdeen is an exciting charity parade that will be taking place down Union Street in Aberdeen. At 11am on 11th June 2011, approximately 120 charity and community based organisations and more than 3500 people will be parading down Union Street, supported by a wide array of street entertainers, all in aid of celebrating the work of the thousands of staff and volunteers within the third sector. The steering committee are now on the final push to secure company sponsors for the parade, so that all the charities and community groups can take part at no cost. Your sponsorship will help us to celebrate the work of the third sector in Aberdeen and provide a small thank you to the many thousands of staff and volunteers for their invaluable efforts that contributes an estimated £50m to the local area. Businesses, large and small across all sectors have come forward as sponsors meaning that more than 90 third sector organisations have now been sponsored. However there are still 30 organisations looking for sponsorship to help them take part in the event – and time is running out. Full details of the parade, including sponsorship information, can be found at www.celebrateaberdeen.org. If you are interested in helping in any way, please contact one of the Steering Committee Members, Campbell Urquhart of The Urquhart Partnership at cu@upwebsite.com or direct line 01224 651801 for more details. Final deadline for sponsorship is Sat 14th May so this really is the last this is the chance for sponsors to get involved and support one of the most memorable and spectacular events Union Street will have ever seen. |
