Newcastle Under Lyme
'Wear It Pink' Day.
Friday 28th October 2011
Platts Garages helping to raise money for the Breast Cancer Campaign.
UPDATE:
"Guess the Number of Balloons" Competiton
We have a Winner!
Mr R Sparkes, Market Drayton.
We were in Newcastle town centre where people had the chance to win a brand new Alfa Romeo Bike worth £600. To take part, all they had to do was guess the number of balloons in one of our Abarth 500's whilst helping us raise some money for the Breast Cancer Campaign.
The number of balloons was 95. Just goes to show how much you can actually fit into such an iconic supermini! The winner was randomly selected from just two people who guessed the correct number.
Congratulations to the winner and thank you to everyone who took part and donated money towards such a worthy cause.
We raised £101.65 on the day, but you can still donate online by going to the Breast Cancer Campaign website - just click here for more details.
BREAST CANCER CAMPAIGN
Campaign was established in 1988 with the aim of researching the cure for breast cancer. The charity aims to be the leading specialist in breast cancer research across the UK and Ireland, making a significant impact on breast cancer for the benefit of patients.
Breast Cancer Campaign only funds research into breast cancer and will support research at any centre of excellence in the UK and the Republic of Ireland. The charity has a particular interest in supporting innovative research and will fund the best breast cancer research in the UK and Ireland, providing that it is of the highest quality.
We currently support 105 research projects, worth over £17.3 million in 31 centres of excellence across the UK and Ireland.
In its lifetime the charity has awarded 340 grants with a total value of over £37 million to universities, medical schools and research institutes across the UK and now also in Ireland.
Why do we use the jigsaw logo?
Our logo is the jigsaw piece because it symbolises the missing piece of the puzzle that is the cure for breast cancer. In the same way that breast cancer is not one disease, there will not be one cure. Each research project is another piece of the puzzle that we hope will ultimately offer all women with breast cancer effective diagnosis and treatment and eventually help us prevent the disease.
