Charity fundraiser
Mikkeller Running Club Liverpool has developed a close partnership with Love, Jasmine. Established in 2016, Love, Jasmine is a Liverpool-based charity, set up to assist bereaved families who have suffered the loss of a child. All funds raised at the event will go to Love, Jasmine and help them continue to reach out to those who require their support.
Live music
No party is complete without some good tunes. We will have some fab music for you to groove along too playing throughout the afternoon courtesy of DJ Rev.G!
Cake bake
How can you celebrate without cake?! Our club pastry chefs will be cooking up some treats for everyone to get stuck into. From cupcakes to brownies, we have enjoyed many baked treats at our previous events thanks to our talented bakers.
Raffle
Everyone loves a good raffle! And even more so when there are beer related items to be won. Many local businesses have kind donated fab prizes! Beers, bar tabs and gift vouchers can be won on the day, courtesy of good friends from breweries and bars across the city.
Guess the weight
We also have a bottle of top gin to be won, as the ever-popular ‘Guess the weight’ returns once again! Following the launch of this competition at our second anniversary event featuring a melon, various fruits and vegetables have played a starring role. Join us on the day to see what item will take centre stage on the scales!
Auction
Another staple of our charity events is the auction! We have a good few items including club kit to auction off, alongside a few more items that will certainly appeal to football fans, both red and blue.
These events really are good fun. It will be great to have as many people involved as possible on the day to help raise important funds for such an important small local charity.
We look forward to welcoming you along! .
Philosophy
Christmas fundraiser!
Christmas fundraiser!
The Philosophy of Mikkeller Running Club is to stay fit through running, whilst enjoying the good things in life. Few would dispute that exercise is good for your body, soul and general health; however, we believe that beer is too… Keeping fit makes us capable of enjoying more of the good life – which includes quality food and drink. It's all about balance!
OUR PARTNER VENUES
Here are some of the different venues we run to in the year and who support us during our charity events. Keep an eye out on the calendar below to see where we'll be running to next!
Love, Jasmine
OUR CHARITY PARTNERSHIP WITH LOVE, JASMINE
Mikkeller Running Club Liverpool has an ongoing partnership with Love, Jasmine having built a close relationship over the past five years.
Following successful Club Anniversary and Christmas events, funds have been raised to help Love, Jasmine grow since the charity was founded in late 2016. A Liverpool based charity, Love, Jasmine was set up to support bereaved families who have suffered the loss of a child.
Following personal bereavement, Rob and Kathy Lapsley recognised the need for a charity of such nature to help support other families who experience what they have been through. In memory of their caring - and sports-loving - daughter Jasmine, the charity bearing her name provides a fitting legacy to support others.
Rob Lapsley of Love, Jasmine: “We were delighted to hear that we were going to receive support from Mikkeller Running Club Liverpool. As a charity, we’ve grown so much in the last few years, and the continued support of this club and its runners is greatly appreciated. These vital funds will help us continue to provide a holistic approach to supporting bereaved families across the area.”
As a club, we feel very privileged to be in a position to actively help Love, Jasmine make a difference to those they reach out to. We have a group of supportive runners who enjoy getting involved in the events we host, whilst local businesses are very hospitable in providing prizes for our fundraising efforts. There is a friendly and supportive culture within the club, and our runners are very generous in supporting teammates who seek sponsorship for their individual fundraising efforts.
Love, Jasmine is a charity we have grown very close to. We are delighted to continue our support and very much look forward to hosting forthcoming charity events to celebrate the life of Jasmine, and help raise significant funds to assist others through bereavement.
