Will you take up the challenge to give back with Jana Pittman?

It’s time to put on your trainers, charge your fitbit and walk, run or bike for a good cause.

On Friday October 20, you won’t want to be the only business that misses out on Western Sydney’s fundraising event of the year – the Coleman Greig Challenge.

In addition to getting fit, having fun and rubbing shoulders with hundreds of local businesses and residents, the Challenge is an opportunity to give back, with funds raised going to children with special needs and newborn care at My Westmead, Royal Institute for Deaf and Blind Children, and St Gabriel’s School for Children with Special Needs.

This will be the 5th year that Western Sydney’s businesses and locals will run, ride or walk alongside each other – and ambassador Jana Pittman – through beautiful Parramatta Park. In past years, over 400 people have taken part before enjoying a complimentary breakfast and award presentation before heading to the office.

Local businesses are signing up now as sponsors and supporters for the 2.5km Walk in the Park, 5km run, 10km run and two grades of cycling. And with St George the Dragon in training for the 2.5km walk it will be a morning of family fun too.

Athlete, mum, doctor in training and event ambassador Jana Pittman is thrilled to be on board for this year’s challenge which she says is a great way for businesses to support organisations making a difference to the lives of children and their families in Western Sydney.

A snapshot of how the funds you raise will help children with special needs and newborns requiring critical care: Purchasing technology to assist with educational opportunities at Royal Institute for Deaf and Blind Children; acquiring Panda Resuscitaires, machines that enhance treatment and care of babies for My Westmead; and funding a new sensory garden, equipment and educational outdoor space designed to foster social skills and communication at St Gabriel’s School for Children with Special Needs.

Benefits to your brand: Not only will your support help with this critical fundraising, it will also benefit your business through enhanced brand awareness and alignment with the three charity partners across local, regional and national media, event day opportunities with radio and television, and logo inclusion on the official event website between July and November 2017. So don’t miss out on the chance to boost your business brand while helping your staff get fit for a great fundraising cause. Read the Sponsorship Proposal and pledge your support today.
