NORTH West Simon Community is the nominated charity for this year’s Atlantic Technological University Sport Donegal annual 5K.
The charity said it was thrilled to be chosen and is looking forward to the event.
ATU Donegal will host its annual 5K run and walk on Tuesday March 28 at 7.15pm. Now in its tenth year, the run acts as community and regional event and a charity fundraiser.
All entry contributions will go to the North West Simon Community to help sustain its vital services.
The North West Simon Community works to prevent and resolve homelessness throughout Donegal, Leitrim and Sligo.
Demand for its services continues to increase with so many people affected by the housing crisis. In 2022, Simon worked with 241 households in need of homeless prevention services.
ATU Donegal Sport Centre Manager Helen Kennedy said that the annual 5K is an event that encompasses all levels and abilities and generates great community spirit and generosity.
The 5K starts and ends at ATU Donegal Sports Centre, Port Road, Letterkenny.
Registration fee is €10 and €7 for students. Refreshments served afterwards.
All proceeds raised will go directly to help those who are homeless or at risk of homelessness and are extremely grateful for the awareness and support to help sustain the work and services provided.
