Print this pageSolicitors Smash Their Target For Big C
With one final fund raising event still to go, solicitors Cozens-Hardy LLP have smashed their target of raising £5,000 for local cancer charity Big C.
As part of Big C’s 30 for 30 fundraising initiative this year, Cozens-Hardy has been one of 30 local businesses all aiming to raise £5,000 each in this, Big C’s 30th anniversary year.
As of today’s date, 15 November 2010, the firm has raised £6,824.33, a figure of which Philippa Rudd, Marketing Principal, is rightly proud:
“Our involvement with Big C this year has been really important to everyone in the firm; nearly all of us here have been affected by cancer, either directly or indirectly, and our fund raising activities have really pulled us together for a common and terrifically worthwhile cause.”
Events and activities put on by Cozens-Hardy staff include an ongoing Big C lending library, abstaining for lent, Easter egg and other competitions, dress down Fridays, cake making, a quiz evening for local estate agents, a ladies style evening at The Forum and a wine tasting evening at Norwich City FC. In addition, last month Philippa led a very brave team of three principals who successfully took part in the gruelling Athens Marathon.
Added Philippa:
“Thanks to Sharon Hulbert at Big C, a number of staff have had the opportunity to visit the research facilities at the UEA and also the Big C centre at the hospital. It is very powerful when you see for yourself how the money is being spent in our communities and what a difference it makes to people’s lives. We are hugely grateful for – and have been really touched by - the level of support shown by staff, clients and colleagues.”
The firm’s final big effort for Big C will be their Business Challenge team entry in the City of Norwich Half Marathon on 28th November. Philippa will be joined by fellow Athens Marathon victors Chris Groves and Iain White, as well as trainee solicitor Jenny Copeland.
