Connor’s Run 2023 Revisited
We have received this certificate and letter of appreciation:
A great big heartfelt THANK YOU to Vocally Wild Choir for supporting Connor’s Run this year. You were part of an event that raised over $1,700,000 to help change the odds for kids with brain cancer, which is amazing!
A thank you certificate is attached in appreciation for all your support in entertaining our participants on the course. To ensure all the precious funds raised can be allocated to fighting kids brain cancer, we have opted to email this certificate rather than print and post it, but if you would like to have this certificate printed as a keepsake, just let me know and we’ll be more than happy to organise this for you.
Please can you pass on our appreciation to your community.
