The Calcutta Run 2008The Calcutta Run is a 10km run/walk organised by the legal profession that starts and finishes at the Law Society headquarters at Blackhall Place and takes a route through the Phoenix Park.
The winners of the Calcutta Run held on Saturday 17th May were our 2 charities - GOAL’s orphanages in Calcutta and Peter McVerry’s Trusts projects in Dublin. We have achieved our target of €300k and it looks like each of the charities will benefit to the tune of €160k each. The other great winners are the 1,400 participants who on average raised €170 - you should be very proud of your efforts and we hope you enjoyed the day. Put it in your diary for next year!!
Anybody who has additional sponsorship please send it as soon as you can to Calcutta Run at A&L Goodbody, IFSC, Dublin 1. For tax relief details click here.
