MyMiltonKeynes to sponsor Willen Hospice Santa Dash

Posted 5th December 2023

Local charity, Willen Hospice are delighted to have MyMiltonKeynes as this year’s Santa Dash sponsor once again. The Santa Dash is Milton Keynes’ biggest festive fundraiser, taking place on Sunday 17 December. The event sees hundreds of people walk, run or jog just over a mile around Willen’s North Lake dressed in Santa suits to raise vital funds for the charity.

MyMiltonKeynes is a non-profit organisation fully funded by businesses in Central Milton Keynes. They have been operating since June 2017 and deliver much valued projects including the Christmas lights and switch-on event, landscaping of the public walkways, and important crime and safety initiatives. They are all about promoting the area and celebrating the great things Milton Keynes City Centre has to offer.

Jill Farnsworth, MyMiltonKeynes CEO said, “We’re pleased to be able to support this incredible event again this year and can’t wait to see the hundreds of Santas running round the lake. As an iconic, family-focused event, the Willen Hospice Santa Dash is set to be an unmissable part of the run-up to Christmas.”

Nigel Birch, Willen Hospice Commercial Manager, added “It’s fantastic to have MyMiltonKeynes as our headline sponsors for our Santa Dash again. This not only gives us the opportunity to work in collaboration with their great organisation, but most importantly, it means more money can go towards funding the Hospice’s specialist, compassionate care, helping us to support families this Christmas.”

Registration is from £20 which includes a Santa suit (unless choosing the greener option), finisher’s medal, and new for this year, hot food and a drink. Sign up HERE.
