PPB has had an amazing acceptance rate for the Bloomberg square mile in a few weeks, and it has been great seeing everyone out and about.
But if you thought just running the race was going to be your challenge, the foundation committee has decided to spice it up a little, all for a good cause!
At the moment we have 4 (possibly 5) teams committed. Each team will have a nominated captain who will be confirmed shortly.
And now for the interesting part…each team will also be nominated a costume mascot to be decided by the foundation committee. It is the responsibility of that team to ensure that their mascot finishes the race i.e. someone in each team needs to run in costume as the anchor (last runner) for each team!
But there are ways out….
The costume mascot will initially be the nominated team captain, but if a team wants to see their captain run in costume they will first need to reach an initial fundraising goal of $250 (for each team - $1,000 goal in total). Anybody can donate to any team to ensure their captains are running in costume…
Once the initial fundraising targets are hit, the costume mascot has to finish the race. Who runs in costume is dependent on you! If you find yourself nominated in a team you can escape via the power of your wallet. Prices to nominate a replacement are:
Partner $100
Director $80
Senior Manager $60
Manager $40
All other staff $20
For those not running, we encourage you to get involved through the initial donations. You can also re-nominate someone who has already paid their way out by donating double your nomination price.
Ideas on outfits (or if you have one) will be gladly taken on and the worse, the better!
Should you find yourself nominated and you want to escape you can provide your donation via Benojo. If you need Benojo assistance please speak to anyone on the foundation committee.
Updated “captains” will be displayed in the Village and if you are nominated you will receive an email to let you know.
