successful challenge events and raising more funds for your charity brought to you
by leading industry experts”. Ms Currie has participated in 9 challenge events to
date and is a staunch supporter of this type of fundraising.

Sir Erich Reich, Managing Director of Classic Tours says: “Challenge events are 
proven income generators for charities of all sizes. These challenges also raise
awareness of the charity, increase the supporter database and help create lifelong
ambassadors to the cause”.

Conference organiser Classic Tours has helped over 300 charities raise in excess
of £60 million after costs since 1992. Managing Director, Sir Erich Reich, was knighted
for charitable services in the New Year’s Honours List 2010.
