Finn Harps Football Club has lent its support to the North West Simon Community Annual Sleep Out which takes place in Letterkenny on this Friday.
The event is held in conjunction with Simon Week a national awareness campaign.
“Our players here at Finn Harps, Ethan Boyle, Danny Morrissey, Kilian Cantwell, Eddie Dsane and Ibrahim Keita were delighted to be present at the Station House Hotel to lend their support to promote the work that the Simon Community is doing here in Donegal” said Club Secretary John Campbell.
By participating in the ‘Sleep Out’ for Simon in your Community you will actively help support and sustain their work in order to assist people who are struggling and at risk of homelessness. Your fundraising will provide much needed money to enable Simon to provide vital outreach services throughout Donegal, Leitrim and Sligo.
North West Simon Community prevented 186 families and individuals from becoming homeless in 2016 and need to continue to provide vital services in order to continue to prevent homelessness throughout Donegal, Leitrim and Sligo. There is a serious demand for their services this year, so they are asking all street sleepers to collect a minimum of €400.
North West Simon is seeking local businesses to support this venture in any way they can. One option is to ‘adopt’ one of the sleepers for a minimum €50. This guarantees the business will be listed in press releases as the ‘official sponsor’ of the relevant sleeper which will be distributed to all local media after the event and will be carried on their website and our ‘facebook’ page (www.facebook.com/northwestsimoncommunity).
The business will also be thanked and listed in a post-event in the local press release issued by the North West Simon Community.
