The Non-Stop! Charity Challenge takes place on Friday 7th and Saturday 8th March, and aims to raise funds for the Oswestry School Performing Arts Centre £1.5million appeal. This event is for the whole school community to take part in, and we would love you to join us!
This event will be live-streamed to ensure our fundraising efforts can be seen and appreciated by as many as possible. Please follow our soon-to-be released social media posts and news updates to keep up to date with all that is happening!
Staff and pupils have already started signing up to an array of "gruelling" challenges designed to push them outside their comfort zone.
The challenges include the 'Cycle till' you SWOP' spinathon, the 'Bop till you DROP' dance-athon; the 'Run till you Flop' treadmill challenge and the 'Eat till you POP'! eating challenge.
This event aims to raise £50,000 towards the Performing Arts Centre appeal, which could bring the total raised to £900,000.
More details about the appeal can be found here: https://www.justgiving.com/campaign/pacappeal
Sponsor forms are being circulated to all pupils, and there will be a special Non-Stop! Charity Challenge sign up sessions for Oswestry pupils and staff, in the Library on Monday, February 10th during morning break.
We would like parents OOs and friends of Oswestry School to join us and sign up to the event!
