Cogent Elliott raises over 3,000 for Red Nose Day 2009
Over 2,400 pounds was raised through an online auction carried out by the agency between 13th and 20th March 2009.
More than 30 lots were donated by clients, suppliers, partners and employees and included a VIP hospitality package for Aston Villa vs Everton, a weekend driving a Jaguar XF, event tickets ranging from Cirque du Soleil through War of the Worlds to Simply Red and ‘Back to the 80’s’, and an iPod Nano with Bose docking station.
The remaining money was raised on Red Nose Day itself through a range of events at the agency all themed around Alice in Wonderland. Agency team members dressed as characters from the story and a range of activities from a Mad Hatter’s tea party, through a fairy tale quiz, to an amazing white rabbit crazy dance display (pictured) all fit with the theme of ‘do something funny for money’ and raised over 600 pounds in the process.
Speaking for the organising committee, Account Executive Frances Roby commented, “we’ve been amazed and thrilled at the support we’ve had from all those who donated auction prizes, or who bid on items, and we’re truly delighted at everyone’s generosity in fundraising for this great cause.”
