Window Widgets, has hit the half-way mark in its bid to raise £21,000 for GM Fundraising and We Mind & Kelly Matters.
The ancillaries supplier, which began the challenge a year ago to mark its 21st anniversary, this week announced it has raised £1,500 so far and is now setting its sights on raising the second half for the two industry charities.
Window Widgets has worked in partnership with over 15 companies to create the Little Pink Book of Jokes and encourage people to make a donation when placing their order for a free copy.
All print and distribution costs were paid for directly by Window Widgets and other brands and businesses were given the opportunity to be a sponsor of one of the books, jokes, or a full page. Their main sponsors include Glass Times and Deceuninck.
The release of the Little Pink Book of Jokes has supported Window Widgets fundraising efforts, along with various other activities that the team have got involved in. The team aided the donations by participating in activities including selling homemade pancakes to staff, a sponsored Halloween fancy dress and ‘Wear it Pink’ day.
In addition to the main publication, Window Widgets have published a children’s activity book, where superhero brand icons make an appearance to engage children with the industry. These will be distributed to local schools and can be requested for other children and schools across the UK.
Marketing manager Jo Trotman, commented: “The Little Pink Book of Jokes is our way of not only celebrating our 21st business anniversary, but also giving something back into the industry and making people smile too. One year later, we are now at the halfway mark of our £21,000 target and would love to hit that and encourage everyone to get involved”
“Thank you to our main sponsors Glass Times & Deceuninck! We would also like to thank Emplas and Window Ware, The BOAL Group, Gap Ltd, Hurst Doors, Leamore Windows and we build brands for their page sponsorships. Finally, thank you to our joke sponsors; Alexander Windows, The Consultancy, Essential Promotions, Genius PVC Trade Frames, Harrison Carloss and Quality by Design.”
