Join the Grace Kelly Childhood Cancer Trust’s Corporate Challenge, Show off your Business Skills & Make £50 Grow into a Top Dollar Donation
Have you and your team got that competitive edge, and could you do something wonderful to support a local children’s cancer charity?
The Grace Kelly Childhood Cancer Trust are inviting local businesses to put the fun in fundraising and take on their Corporate Challenge this year.
To register, please go to: www.gkcct.org/corporate-challenge-2023
Taking part is simple. Businesses must sign up as soon as possible before Friday 5th May and join their fundraising leader board! The challenge will officially launch on Thursday 1st June with a breakfast networking event at Kingsway House – where will be plenty of photo opportunities for supporters as the charity hands over their shiny £50 notes! Businesses will then be able to share their success stories at a Friday Fizz event, also at Kingsway House, on 1st September.
The Trust receives no statutory funding so wholly relies on supporters to help them raise the £400,000 they need each year to fund their vital services and make a difference to the lives of children fighting cancer.
Coralie Hudson, Fundraiser at the Trust and Sterling member, said: “With so many amazing businesses across the county, we thought what better way to promote some healthy competition by asking them to use their skills to grow £50 into a bigger donation and support local families facing childhood cancer.”
The challenge will officially close on Friday 3rd November with awards presented at the charity’s Winter Wonderland Ball at the Bank House on Friday 1st December. Awards up for grabs are for the most raised, innovation, team spirit, digital marketing and laugh out loud!
The charity is encouraging teams to share their successes on social media – don’t forget to tag the Trust! With lots of social media assets at the ready, there are plenty of ways for businesses to share their amazing support with their customers and clients.
Coralie continued: “We’ve had so much interest already, and teams will be in a great creative company! We know lots of supporters who like to think outside the box, and who are equally competitive, so we cannot wait to hear what everyone comes up with. We would also love to welcome new business supporters to the fold, to learn more about what we do and have lots of fun too!”
The Trust funds research in to rare and aggressive childhood cancers, educates families and clinicians about the signs and symptoms of childhood cancer and produces medical information booklets to explain to parents and children about the treatments they are facing.
The charity also provides financial, practical, and emotional support to local families through their family support service, giving families a listening ear and support at the time when they need it most.
