Fundraising Events

Each year SportsAid Scotland hosts several fundraising events, including charity golf days in Edinburgh and elsewhere. 2012 saw the introduction of a very well-received SportsAid Scotland Sportspersons Dinner in London, which we hope to repeat in the future. 

 

SportsAid Scotland is also very grateful for being selected as the charity to benefit from fundraising events held by various other organizations, from time to time.

 

SportsAid Scotland 100-Mile Challenge 2016

 

We are looking for 100 participants of all ages to each raise £100.00 (or more!) in 2016 through going the extra mile for SportsAid Scotland. If we achieve our target, we will raise £10,000!

You will receive a technical t-shirt with your unique number (1-100) and, in Olympic year, the satisfaction of knowing you are helping future Olympians.

It is not as daunting as it sounds. It is up to you how tough or unique the challenge is, as long as 100 miles is covered.

You can run, walk, cycle, swim, row,canoe, ski, sail, golf, wheelchair - or a combination - and you have until December 31 to log the miles. It can be as little as two or three miles a week, whatever suits.

It can be done in races or in leisure time, over mountains, on roads, in the swimming pool or in open water - it is your challenge!

 

Register through JustGiving link https://campaign.justgiving.com/charity/scottishsportsaid/challenge100

 and then email us (sportsaidscotland@gmail.com) for your unique t-shirt. Then, just log your miles through I-phone, garmin, fitness app or pen and paper (!).

 

Keep us updated on your progress on Twitter and Facebook and let us know when you reach your target.

London 2012 to Glasgow 2014 : 700 days running for SportsAid Scotland!

 

Ewen Logie, a 33-year old dad of two from Stewarton, Ayrshire, was so inspired by the London Olympics that he set himself the challenge of undertaking over 700 days of sporting activity between the end of London 2012 and the start of the Commonwealth Games in Glasgow 2014 in order to raise funds for us.  He successfully completed the challenge, and you can read all about it at www.justgiving.com/ewenlogie

Our Chairman, Ronnie Sloan, on Sunday 17 June 2012 completed The Seven Hills of Edinburgh Challenge, which comprises Edinburgh Castle, Corstorphine,     Craiglockhart, Braid, Blackford, Arthur's Seat and Calton Hills, a total of 15.5 miles and 2,200 ft of climb, in 3 hrs 26 mins.  In appalling weather conditions, he ran in his old marathon garb of a tartan Superman outfit, and at 69 won the oldest competitor prize. You can still sponsor him at http://www.justgiving.com/ronniesloan

SportsAid’s patron, Her Royal Highness Princess of Wales is helping to shine a light on the achievements and potential of young athletes throughout the UK – inspiring a generation who one day hope to represent the nation at the Olympic or Paralympic Games. SportsAid alumnus Sir Chris Hoy welcomed the patronage by saying, “SportsAid played an important role when I was starting out so I know what a huge boost this will be to the young sportsmen and women the charity helps today. As patron Her Royal Highness Princess of Wales will give them the profile they deserve.”
