Here at Hall Green RGT we are lucky enough to have some fantastic volunteers who go to extraordinary lengths to help us raise much-needed funds to look after our homeless hounds. (If you would like to get involved in a sponsorship event on behalf of HG RGT, send us an email and we’ll publicise your event on our website.)

Please read on to find out more about about current sponsorship opportunities and also stories about what others have so courageously done in the past.

PREVIOUS SPONSORSHIP OPPORTUNITIES

Greyhound owner, Stewart Grainger has run Birmingham’s half marathon twice to help HG RGT. Well done and thank you to Stewart

“I raised £300 in 2008 and did even better in 2009 after raising a further £400 running Birmingham’s half marathon.

Brave Lynn Jones raised £1700 for HG RGT when she decided to jump out of an airplane at 12,000 on her sponsored parachute jump.

Matt Smith raised a staggering, hard-earned £1,050 for the Trust on his sponsored “month of marathons”. Well done and huge thank you to Matt!”

Keen walker, Paul Elkin has completed his 50 mile challenge of walking St Kenelms Way that stretches from Clent and ending at Winchcombe, Gloucestershire in aid of HG RGT. Paul had (moral) support from his wife Kate and their lovely greyhound Diva and they were thrilled (as we are, thank you!) to have raised £648 for their "favourite charity".

Many thanks to vetran marathon runners, Fat Paul and Fin Liz, teamed up to run the London Marathon earlier this year in aid of HG RGT. Paul and Liz had set a target of £500 and were thrilled that they were able to hand over a cheque for a whopping £737 to the Trust. They said that knowing that the monies raised was going to a "magnificent cause" kept them going.

We all had a foot stomping good time at the charity gig featuring rock/blues legends Trevor Burton, The Move, Bev Bevan , Quill, Raymond Froggart, Danny King and Jeff Turton at Hall Green Stadium on September 8th all in aid of Hall Green and Perry Barr RGT. The banqueting suite was packed with fans and supporters and Trevor handed over a cheque of £1702.36 TO EACH TRUST! A huge thank you to Trevor and friends for an amazing night out.
