First Recruitment Group Enter Salford Dragon Boat Race
05 Apr 2016
First Recruitment Group are proud to announce that they will be entering a team of rowers into The Salford Dragon Boat Festival on Sunday 8th May.
This race was highlighted to us by one of our chosen charities, Warrington based, the Foundation for Peace, and so we decided to enter a team in order to raise money for them.
This amazing charity is run by the parents of twelve year old Tim Parry and supported by the parents of three year old Johnathan Ball, who were tragically killed in the Warrington IRA’s bombing in 1993. The Foundation works nationally to support those affected by terrorism and conflict, supporting young people to turn away from violence, and work to build stronger communities.
Racing will be the whole length of Ontario Dock, in Salford Quays, which is around 180 meters and each of the 24 teams taking part will be given a minimum of three timed races where your single fastest time only will count for Grand Final qualification.
This is event looks set to be a great team building experience for local businesses and charities, as well as a change to raise awareness and funds for some great causes.
