CSI – COMMUNITY SOCIAL INVESTMENT As organisers of the ROCKMAN Event we are committed to supporting sport development in our local communities. A ROCKMAN trust fund will be set up and a % of athletes entry fee will go to building sport in our communities. We will also be collecting old sports gear from our athletes to donate to disadvantaged sports people within the community. Additional donations can also be made on registration. The organisers will implement a programme to use these funds to best develop sport in the community, e.g. by creating sports workshops to teach children about the benefits of being fit and living a healthy lifestyle. Race participants can make a big difference by signing up to Race for a Reason and get sponsored, if they choose this option, they race is a special colour shirt and receive recognition for their efforts! Local schools are given the opportunity to supply services and staffing in order to assist them with fundraising
