Right on the money
Less than four weeks since we launched our Christmas cracker fundraising initiative, our second winning golden ticket has just been found.
Head of digital design, Adrian Parker, now has his eyes firmly on a certain pot at the end of the rainbow as he’s in with a chance of winning up to £1,000 in cash.
Over the next two months we aim to raise £40,000, including matched giving, for our charity partner, Action for Children, by selling 10,000 Christmas crackers to colleagues at £2 each.
As well as raising money for a fantastic cause, we have placed special golden tickets inside 61 crackers. All lucky ticket recipients will be entered into a cash prize draw to win between £10 and £1,000.
‘After buying just three crackers, I bagged a golden ticket,’ said Adrian. ‘I couldn’t decide if I was Charlie Bucket, Mike Teavee or Augustus Gloop!
‘Seriously though, a great idea to generate funds for Action for Children, a great charity which does some amazing work supporting a truly worthwhile cause.’
If you’d like to join Adrian and Bedford postman, Richard Conlon in the prize draw, here’s how to order your crackers:
