On Saturday 26th June 2010,
all staff from aql will be
competing in a Dragon boat race set at Clarence Dock ,Leeds in aid of
Leeds
Community Foundation (more on them later).
We have numerous 250 metre heats over the course of the day in a 40ft
long boat
that will be powered by a team of 16 aql paddlers (in fancy dress) and a
drummer, with more than 100 races planned over the course of the day. It
will
be a great fun filled day competing against 40 other firms including
Carlsberg,
DLA Piper, Grant Thornton, Hammonds and KPMG.
The Sponsorship money that we raise will go towards the Leeds Community
Foundation,
which supports more than 3,000 community groups and charities working in
some
of the most disadvantaged parts of Leeds and distributed over £9m in
grants
since it was established in 2005, sharing out more than £3.8m in the
2008/09
financial year alone.
It would be great if you could spare some change for this great cause
and if you’re
free come along and offer us some
support on the
day....
Thanks
Team aql
