You’re invited to join Starlight’s festive fun run to raise funds to brighten the lives of poorly children in London’s hospitals & hospices this Christmas.

Building on the success of Starlight’s first ever 12 Days of Christmas Run in 2012, Starlight Children’s Foundation and Canary Wharf Group are delighted to announce that the hugely popular event will be back for a second year!

Taking place at 12:12pm on Thursday 12 December, this unique 1.2 mile fun run will see hundreds of festive runners complete a course around the Canary Wharf business and shopping district. Individual runners and corporate teams are all welcome – the only appeal is that participants dress up as one of the categories from the popular Christmas carol, The Twelve Days of Christmas!

Whether you decide to enter as 2 Turtle Doves, 5 Gold Rings, 7 Swans A-Swimming or even a Partridge in a Pear Tree, costumes are likely to be festively fantastic as runners compete for the hotly contested best dressed prize on the day!

Starting and finishing at the sparkling Canary Wharf Ice Rink in Canada Square Park, the run is guaranteed to get everyone in the Christmas spirit, with City restaurant Boisdales of Canary Wharf providing post-race refreshments. And if you don’t fancy running, come along and support the teams – the more the merrier! You can cheer on the runners and then afterwards throw your best Torvill and Dean shapes on the ice, enjoy a mulled wine and mince pie and then finish off your Christmas shopping at the Canary Wharf mall.

So dig out your Christmas fancy dress outfit, put on your running shoes, and come and join in the fun in Canary Wharf – prizes will be awarded for the best costumes on the day!

Over 170 community advocates from foundations, peer nonprofits, giving circles, corporate giving programs, local government agencies, and the broader community evaluate applications (200+ a year) for their critical local impact. Less than 90 nonprofits are selected annually. Every featured organization has been “site visited” by at least one volunteer or Spur Local staff. We also complete a financial review, during which we review 990 filings, audited financials, and other key financial indicators to ensure financial viability and transparency. And all organizations in the Spur Local network must re-apply every four years. We leverage the region’s knowledge for the benefit of the entire community.

As a volunteer, your review of the applicants will help us to determine which nonprofits to include in the Spur Local network. Your comments also help us give feedback to unsuccessful applicants as they seek to improve their applications, and organizations, in the future.

To volunteer with us, you must:

- Live or work in the Greater Washington DC region
- Have a minimum of three years of professional experience.
- Have experience in and/or knowledge of the nonprofit sector, philanthropy, community development, or community organizing.
- Have familiarity, interest, or expertise in one or more of the social issues our applicants serve: Nature (Environment and Animal Services), Culture (Youth and Community Arts or Performing, Literary and Visual Arts), Education (Youth Education and Education and Enrichment; Mentorship and College Access; or Adult Literacy and Learning), or Human Services (Children, Youth and Families; Girls and Women; Immigrant and Refugee Services; Veterans and Military Families; Health, Wellness and Senior Services; Basic Needs, Food and Housing; Legal Services and Justice Programs; Life Skills, Training, and Employment; or Community and Civic Engagement)
- Not be a member of the board or staff of a nonprofit organization that is applying to be in the Spur Local network. More information for applying nonprofits is available here.
- Commit to 4-8 hours of reviewing from early March to mid-April. Time commitment is dependent on personal reviewing style; each reviewer will be assigned approximately 5-10 applications.

If you are interested, please email Chiara Frechette with your interest.
