It will be a fantastic evening which the whole family can enjoy (as a thank you, entrance is free for firewalkers, but additional tickets must be purchased for anyone else attending). It is a great team building exercise, too!
We have two different ways people within your organisation can choose to sign up and take part.
Option 1
Everyone can sign up as individual firewalkers and raise separate sponsorship. Registration is £25 per person and a minimum sponsorship is required of £120 each.
*Woking & Sam Beare Hospices has a competition running for the person who raises the most money in overall sponsorship will win a bottle of bubbly. This will be calculated two weeks after the event.
Option 2
You can register as a team (Minimum of 5 people required).
Registration is still £25 per person but you will have a combined sponsorship target.
Combined Sponsorship target will equal £120 x amount of people in your team.
HOT OFF THE PRESS - Registration is now open and I would recommend signing up as soon as possible. We have had a lot of interest which is very exciting!
