International Sailor’s Society – Three Peaks Challenge
Dear ICS members,
Since we are in the shipping industry we undoubtedly think of those seafarers who spend many month at sea away from their homes and families.
The International Sailor’s Society – Canada (ISSC), is a national charity who provide support to those facilities in various port across the country who are involved with the welfare of seafarers.
Past Chairman of the ISSC, later this month, along with ISSC Directors, Bonnie Gee from the Chamber of Shipping and Andrew Mayer from the Port of Prince Rupert, will travel to the U.K. to participate in the “Three Peaks Challenge”.
This is a sponsored fund raising event organised by the Sailor’s Society in the U.K during which teams will climb each of the highest peaks in England, Scotland and Wales in 24 hours.
So far the ISSC team have raised over $6,000 and can certainly use all of your help in reaching their goal to raise $20,000 this year for the ISSC. Attached is the sponsorship/donation form for the challenge and also below is a link to the team page with the Sailors Society at https://www.justgiving.com/teams/ThreePeaksTeams (note that donations via this webpage will go directly to the UK organization and will later be reimbursed to us in Canada)
For more information on the event or to donate to our account directly, visit our website at www.sailorssociety.ca.
Thanks for your support!
