News£134,722 total raised for Breast Cancer Now
World-class research and life-changing support provided by charity
Breast Cancer Now
will be boosted by a £134,722.46 donation raised through
our
Community Champions scheme.
Members, customers, and colleagues of Lincolnshire Co-op all contributed to
this fundraising total by shopping with their dividend cards, dropping
change in collection boxes, and participating in or supporting fundraising
activities.
£134,722.46
could pay for 539 days of research. Research is key to
creating a future where everyone diagnosed with breast cancer lives and
lives well. 539 days of research will help Breast Cancer Now get to that future even faster.
During the campaign, Lincolnshire Co-op colleagues organised in-store
fundraising activities. Cake sales, raffles and games were on offer in many
stores over the ‘Big Pink Weekend’ in early May, during
Easter, and the Jubilee weekend.
Some team members went even further in their efforts to raise funds -
participating in sponsored walks and bike rides across the county,
completing the Tough Mudder at Belvoir Castle, and hosting a bingo night at
Coningsby Village Hall.
Colleagues from across Lincolnshire Co-op attended the presentation to
Breast Cancer Now.
