Double matching incentive for Salmon half marathon fundraiser

This is a big fundraising charity event with Sir Mo Farah leading the runners in a half marathon, which is then followed by a community festival in Greenwich Park.

Each of our runners are aiming to raise sponsorship of at least £350 from their family, friends and contacts in support of Salmon.

Pound-for-pound matching

Thanks to some generous funders, every donation raised by each runner, up until £500, will be matched on a pound-for pound basis – effectively doubling the donation total. Further still, for every pound raised in excess of £500, we have been offered a ‘double matching’ incentive of two pounds per pound.

So for example, a runner raising £500 will be matched by another £500, making £1,000 in total.  But a runner raising £700 will be matched with £900 (£500 x1 + £200 x2) making £1,600 in total.  Someone raising £1,000 will be matched with £1,500.

Please help us to raise as much money as possible to support the vital work Salmon does in providing a place and a purpose for disadvantaged young people in Bermondsey.
