Welcome to the End-to-End

Bermuda’s largest charity event has received renewed support from its title sponsor -- for 2011 and beyond.

For the next three years, Catlin Bermuda has announced it will give substantial funding toward the organization of the Bermuda End-to-End event – known since 2008 as the “Catlin End-to-End.”

Some of the standout participants and volunteers who made Bermuda’s largest and most inclusive charitable fund-raising event a success will receive awards for their efforts at a noon-hour ceremony at City Hall on Tuesday, June 15.

“The 2010 Catlin End-to-End, held in early May, was another huge success, both in terms of numbers of people involved and amounts raised for local charities,” said Anne Mello, chairman of the End-to-End Charitable Trust, which organizes the annual event.

Despite the difficult Bermuda economy, Mrs. Mello said, 10 local charities will receive more than $335,000 on Tuesday, which is in keeping with 2009 figures.

The 2010 Catlin End-to-End was a success, with more than 2,400 participants plus hundreds of volunteers enjoying a day of physical challenge and community under sunny skies.

As in past years, our most popular event was the Middle-to-End walk, with more than 1,200 walkers strutting out of town to the west end.  Next most popular was the End-to-End bike, with nearly 300 riders.  Plus, close to 300 people walked the whole way from End-to-End.
