Fundraising

Galvin’s Chance is only able to operate thanks to the generous and imaginative ideas of our supporters. Here are just a few of the ways we generate the funds needed to help young people through Galvin’s Chance.

The Big Christmas Fight

On 13th December 2011, Simon Vincent, Hilton Worldwide President, Europe and Fred Sirieix, General Manager at Galvin at Windows, took on former British and European welterweight boxing champion Clinton McKenzie.

Mayfair Park and Tower Race

Galvin's Chance only exists thanks to the generosity of our donors. The Mayfair Park and Tower Race is the principal fundraiser for the Galvin's Chance programme. The race incorporates a unique 4.5km run around Hyde Park's Serpentine Lake followed by a gruelling tower run up 28 floors to the top of the London Hilton on Park Lane. Participants are required to raise a minimum of £250 sponsorship for the race with all net profits supporting Galvin's Chance.

2012 will see the fourth annual Mayfair Park and Tower Race take place. The race will be held on Friday April 27th, with numbers limited to 150 runners. The race will start at 8am, culminating in a Pommery breakfast for all runners. Supporters can find out more or register their interest now in 2012's race by clicking here
