Great Newham Run, @Daktronics 4 Paul’s Place Charity

Maddie Cotterill

The close knit and dependable UK team at Daktronics have been determined to direct their power as a collective towards raising money for charity. The hard-wired crew will represent the company by taking part in the Morrisons Great Newham London Run, at Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park in London on Sunday, July 19, 2015.

The eleven-strong team is comprised of six Daktronics’ UK employees and the support of five family members. The money they raise will be donated to Paul’s Place, a Bristol-based charity that supports and facilitates physically disabled adults.

The team is closely aligned with the site of the run, as the route takes in all of the iconic London 2012 Olympic Games legacy venues, including the Lee Valley VeloPark (into which Daktronics has installed four Daktronics LED video displays in preparation for the 2016 UCI Track Cycling World Championships).

The route also passes the Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park stadium and indeed the Morrisons Great Newham London Run represents the first event to take place there since its transformation following London 2012.

Daktronics UK extends an open invitation to all those who wish to support them and offers up the Paul’s Place JustGiving page up to the generosity of the industry.
