The
sixth annual Maggie’s Culture Crawl is set to hit Aberdeen’s streets on Friday,
June 16, when hundreds of fundraisers will walk eight miles to raise money for
those living with cancer.
A
fantastic £58,000 was raised from last year’s walk, and the team at Maggie’s is
hoping to keep the positive momentum going again this year.
The
event will take place in the city centre with fundraisers set to stop at some
of the city’s iconic venues enjoying refreshments, live entertainment and
surprises throughout the crawl.
Maggie’s
Aberdeen Fundraising Manager, Richard Stewart commented: “I am overjoyed to be
able to hold our annual Culture Crawl again in Aberdeen city centre. I look
forward to this event more and more each year. It allows us to stay active, walk
with friends and family, explore local venues, and raise as much money as
possible for those living with cancer.
“Once
again, we will get to see a sea of orange hit the streets as the crawl returns
to its original format following two years of restrictions forced by the
pandemic.
“The
event allows for local businesses and communities to come together to rally
behind the walkers, allowing us to celebrate our city’s culture at each stage
of the walk. The valued contribution of Aberdeen businesses helps make the
event more impactful year after year.
“I
would like to extend my thanks to our amazing staff at Maggie’s and our valued
fundraisers for allowing the culture crawl to continue for another year through
their continued support. I cannot wait to see our fundraisers hit the streets
and begin raising money for those who need it most.”
The
funds collected from this year’s culture crawl will be added to the existing
pot of £142,000 raised from the Valentine's Ball. With more fundraising events
lined up for 2023, the charity is looking forward to a great year ahead.
