Charity Auction And Raffle At The Optimus Performance Marketing Summer BBQ 2010
Along with the food, local ale and good company at the Optimus Performance Marketing Summer BBQ, we will be holding a charity auction and raffle in aid of some fantastic charities. Last year we managed to raise over £700 for the local RNLI and we hope to top that amount this year with the support of our industry.
To buy your raffle tickets and to look at the fabulous prizes we have please have a look here. You can also view the list of auction items here and place some bids if you can’t make the BBQ or if you want to get your bid in early.
This year our chosen charities are Little Hearts Matter, which is one of the UK’s leading children’s heart charities and The Homes for Heroes Charitable Foundation, a charity set up to procure affordable housing for members of the armed services.
LHM offers support and information to all children born with just half a heart as well as their families. These conditions include Hypoplastic Left Heart Syndrome (HLHS), Pulmonary Atresia, Tricuspid Atresia and Double Inlet Ventricle, and affect many families across the UK.
This year, the charity is launching a new intitiative aimed squarely at helping its older child members make the transition from children to adulthood, giving them the independence and confidence to aim to live as full a life as possible.
For most of these children, learning to drive, having relationships, working towards a career, and even enjoying the pub, are major milestones and the charity wants to be able to support these children as they reach each one.
The Homes for Heroes Charitable Foundation was set up on the 15th October 2008 by Ken McMillan and Ewen McAulay. The initial aim is to procure affordable housing for members of the Armed Forces while they are still serving. This initiative is aimed at providing a home for when the serviceman eventually leaves the services and so prevent them from being subjected to the mercy of council waiting lists.
As recently highlighted in the media, many people have been shocked to hear of the 5000 homeless ex servicemen currently on the streets of Britains towns and cities. We have resolved to do something about it.
