The Catlin End-to-End Walk raised more than $300,000 for a host of local charities.
The achievement was announced last night during an awards ceremony at the Hamilton Princess.
Donations of $35,000 each went to the Adult Education School, Centre Against Abuse, Meals on Wheels, and Open Airways, while $30,000 went to the Family Centre.
There were donations of $20,000 to the Bermuda School of Music, Friends of Hospice, St Johns Ambulance, and Westmeath, respectively. Finally, $10,000 went to the Multiple Sclerosis Society of Bermuda.
