Bridget Robertson co-ordinates
the fundraising events for Snopeak
Sled Dog Fundraising. Her husband
Ewan has been involved in a variety
of events over the past quarter
of a century including sponsored
walks, cycles, 24-hours events,
discos and specialising in the last
10 or so years in dog orientated
events. The majority of which have
included sled dogs. They have been
active in the dog community for
a good number of years now and Ewan
first qualified a dog for Crufts
back in 1980. A few years ago they
were key in establishing the 1st
ever UK charity for Sled Dogs. After
taking the charity as far as he
could, Ewan felt he could better
serve fundraising activities though
a different approach. Ewan is well
known through the Sled Dog community
and has made many contacts through
the years and together with his
PA and disco company is now able
to contribute more to various types
of fundraising events and making
them more succesful and memorable
for all those involved.
"I can vouch for Ewans commentary
skills, he runs a good show"
"After seeing Ewan in action,
I would not consider booking anyone
else."
"His commentary at the Royal
Highland Show was very informative
and amusing."
The Snopeak Sled Dog Fundraisers
are exactly what the name says,
they raise funds for Sled Dogs,
which are then passed to appointed
rehoming schemes in the form of
a grant and therefor become restricted
funds within the receiving organisation
to ensure that the money benefits
the dogs directly and is not consumed
by admin costs.
Bookings can be taken for discos,
PA, commentary and/or sled dogs,
the requests can be singly or for
a selection of the above. Historically
some of the past events which have
been organised have included Static
Displays where public can meet some
sled dogs and even get their picture
taken with them using digital technology
and printing the picture on the
day so that it can be taken away
as a momento, Working Displays where
the dogs can be seen running in
harness and other speciality displays,
however please remember that these
are working dogs and not performing
circus animals, which can lead to
quite entertaining displays for
your spectators. The dogs are our
primary concern and as such weather
conditions on the day may lead to
a working display being cancelled,
we hope you can appreciate why.
All displays are subject to weather
conditions on the day, facilities
at the venue and of course availability.
Here's wishing you fantastic fundraising
event(s) this year.
