FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Marathon celebrates Student Volunteering Week with Sponsor Four Star Pizza
The organisers of the Mash Direct Belfast City Marathon have joined forces
with sponsor Four Star Pizza to help celebrate and raise awareness of
Student Volunteering Week.
Taking place from 7th - 13th February, Student Volunteering Week*
celebrates the importance of students volunteering such as helping to
improve student wellbeing; developing student employability; and it helps
contribute positively to the local (and wider) community.
The Mash Direct Belfast City Marathon celebrates its 40th year on Sunday
1st May 2022 and is focusing on several positive additions to the event
such as a brand-new Expo and Pack Collection at the Titanic Exhibition
Centre, on Friday 29th and Saturday 30th April.
The event needs over 500 volunteers to help ensure an efficient,
successful, and memorable Marathon weekend and with the support of Official
Food Sponsor, Four Star Pizza, all volunteers can expect a complimentary
pizza voucher along with an event t-shirt and medal/certificate.
Four Star Pizza is a wholly Irish-owned Pizza chain, established in 1988,
and now operates 57 stores across the island of Ireland, including 14 in
Northern Ireland.
Four Star Pizza Communications Executive Therese Anglim says:
"We are delighted to sponsor the Volunteer Race Crew, including volunteers
for this year's new Expo and Pack Collection. We appreciate how important
volunteers are to help support the delivery of a huge event such as the
Mash Direct Belfast City Marathon. We're looking forward to rewarding the
volunteers with a carb and energy-boosting Four Star Pizza for all their
efforts. This Student Volunteering Week, we would urge as many students as
possible, across the community, to come forward and get involved in the
event's special 40th year."
Ross Wylie (19 years), a Geography student at Queens University Belfast and
Officer at 1st Kilbride Boy's Brigade said:
"I volunteer as an officer in the Boy's Brigade, as well as other roles
within my church and local sports clubs. My main reason for volunteering
is to give back to organisations who have helped me so much over the years.
I get great satisfaction out of seeing others learn the same skills and
enjoy the same activities I experienced growing up. Volunteering is very
rewarding but it's also great for learning new transferable skills, which
can be added to your CV for future job applications!"
