Marie Curie - Fundraising 2008



Dear Visitor,
It's been a wee while since my last update to you, recently we have been incredibly busy co-ordinating and taking part in another Marie Curie - Big Build Appeal Fundraiser. This took place over the first Bank Holiday weekend of last month, covering 2nd to 5th May. It proved to be a great event, lots of visitors to the store enjoyed lots of fun and entertainment at the store courtesy of our clowns, magicians and also a face painter (most of our staff enjoyed this as the pictures should show) We were joined in this event by Smooth Radio, who broadcast live from the store all day. As a result of lots of work from Sharon McCallum our accountant and charity co-ordinator, who had great support from all our sales team, we were able to raise over £4000 that weekend, bringing our total for the year to over £11,000.
All our customers helped raise this great sum of money and to those who visited that weekend many thanks. We were also giving lots back to customers that weekend as we had a special prize draw which featured prizes worth over £10,000. Lucky winners recieved G Plan sofa's, Elano Recliners, Morris Dining Tables, Tempur Beds, Alstons Bedroom ranges and also a £1000 Forrest Furnishing voucher - Congratulations to all the winners and again thanks to all the team here who helped make the fundraising such fun.







Until next time.
John
