Charity calls for all to participate in this year’s Sparkle Dash 5k and help support local children living with terminal illnesses.
Northern Ireland Children’s Hospice is hosting its first-ever Sparkle Dash 5k event this summer – bringing a festival of glitter and entertainment to Giants Park, Belfast on Sunday, August 6.
The event which is sponsored by Mauds Ice Creams – Northern Ireland’s leading ice-cream manufacturer – is inviting runners and walkers to participate in the 5k challenge, which will see runners and spectators generously doused in a rainbow of sparkling glittered powders in a bid to raise vital funds for Northern Ireland Children’s Hospice.
The Maud’s Sparkle Dash 5k will start at 11:30am, with gates open to the public from 10am and ample car parking on site. Entry fee per running participant is £30, with children under 5 going free. The charity is also offering a Special Price Family Package at £70 which includes 2 adults and up to 3 children.
Joanna Pawson, Events Manager at Northern Ireland Children’s Hospice said: “We are really excited to be hosting our first ever Sparkle Dash 5k this summer on August, 6 at Giant’s Park, Belfast. The venue is perfect for the event, with glitter stations, entertainment and ample parking space too”.
Roberta Wilson, Partner at Mauds Ice Creams added: ‘’Mauds Ice Creams Ltd is delighted and honoured to sponsor the Mauds Sparkle Dash 5K in aid of Northern Ireland Children’s Hospice. Mauds Ice Creams is a local family business and sadly we have experienced first-hand the difference NI Hospice and Children’s Hospice can make to families when tragedy strikes.
“This year’s Mauds Sparkle Dash 5k promises to be a super fun occasion for the whole family, not to mention a worthwhile way to spend a Sunday morning and we at Mauds are keen to encourage as many people as possible to join in and we will be there with our gold sparkle powder.’’
