Celton Manx to sponsor CRUK event

Firm signs as sponsor for sixth year

Celton Manx will once again sponsor one of the Island's biggest annual community fundraising events this summer.

The online sports gaming firm is partnering Cancer Research UK's Relay for Life at the NSC over the August bank holiday weekend, for a sixth successive year.

More than 900 people and 94 cancer survivors took part in last  year's 24 hour team relay around the outdoor track. 

Organisers are urging teams to register now and stake their claim for a tent pitch, as NSC facilities were full to capacity last year.

The Manx branch of the charity raised almost £124,000 in 2015, making it the second most successful fundraising group in the UK.  

Celton Manx Executive Director Bill Mummery said: "Relay for Life Isle of Man is community engagement at its finest and most compassionate, an event which faces cancer head on.

 

It is for these reasons that Celton Manx is pleased to be lead sponsor for the sixth successive year."
