WATERLOOVILLE, ENGLAND, January 28, 2009
/24-7PressRelease/ -- Thomas Sanderson has revealed the extent of its charitable contributions made in 2008, with the company raising a total 10,000 for worthy causes last year, and has pledged to continue it activities throughout 2009.
Charities including Children with Leukemia, The British Heart Foundation, Make a Wish Foundation and Sports Relief were among the charities that benefited from the fundraising efforts of
Thomas Sanderson in 2008 and the company is looking forward to providing more charity support throughout 2009.
Overall the company helped raise 10,000 through a variety of pursuits to be shared between several different charities. Among the fundraising activities were a Christmas dress up day and raffle in aid of the Salvation Army and Samaritans, Jeans for Genes days, a wear something pink day in support of the nationwide breast cancer awareness campaign, as well as a Power FM sponsored football tournament to help disadvantaged local children.
The charities that received donations from Thomas Sanderson during 2008 were chosen by members of staff and others connected to the business, while requests for donations from the charities themselves are also considered. The requests were then brought up during monthly charity meetings, where the supporting material of each charity was read, with requests for support being granted to the most popular organisations, as voted by the members of the company.
The Thomas Sanderson charity team is now looking forward to the new year and will be continuing to donate to worthy causes throughout 2009, with plans currently afoot for Thomas Sanderson to assemble a team to participate in the Three Peaks challenge, which involves climbing the three highest mountains in the UK in 24 hours, in July in support of breast cancer.
