Antalis got into the spirit of fundraising for Breast Cancer Now
The company has been supporting the charity for over ten years and this
year dressed up in pink and fancy dress, as well as taking part in many
fundraising activities led the company to its impressive total money
raised.
The team started the day with a ‘Big Breakfast’ sandwich eating
challenge, followed by a ‘Pink Bake-Off’ competition and bake sale.
There was also a raffle draw and ‘wear it pink’ wristbands were
available to buy.
The team also got active by taking it in turns on a cross trainer to see
if they could ‘climb the pink mountain’. In total, the company managed
58,665 steps together, which is the equivalent of climbing Mount
Everest.
Antalis has supported Breast Cancer Now for a number of years, as so many of us are touched by the disease in one way or another”
“Antalis has supported Breast Cancer Now for a number of years, as so
many of us are touched by the disease in one way or another,” says
Samantha Brown, communication manager at Antalis.
She continues: “The whole team at Antalis really got into the fun spirit
of things at our ‘wear it pink’ event this year and I’d like to thank
everyone for their efforts and generosity. I’m really pleased we were
able to raise over £3,000 and hope it goes some way to help fight this
devastating disease.”
