Mason Hayes & Curran hosted the launch of the 2018 Calcutta Run, the legal profession’s annual fundraiser which raises funds to combat homelessness in Ireland and Kolkata (formerly Calcutta). First held in 1999, the Calcutta Run has raised a staggering €3.7 million during the past nineteen years and the fundraising target for 2018 is €300,000.
Commenting at the launch of the event, President of the Law Society Michael Quinlan said, “This is a very special year for the Calcutta Run as we celebrate its 20th anniversary. Recent weather events have highlighted the vital work those on the front line to assist those in homelessness and the profession is delighted to help contribute to that effort.”
