On Friday 29th June 2018, Hodgkinsons will host their final event for the ‘Accumulator Challenge’ which is ran by St Barnabas with the goal to raise money for their charity. The challenge has been running since April and will end on Saturday 30th June. All participating teams are allocated £50.00 which they are to maximise by using the money in ways which will see a return in donations.
Over the last three months, Hodgkinsons have hosted numerous events both externally and in-house such as:
1. Bake Sale
2. A Carboot Stall at Burgh Roundabout
3. Chocolate Basket Challenge’
4. Marvelous Mystery Box Auction’
With only a few days left in the challenge, Hodgkinsons are keen to continue to raise donations until the very end by hosting two final events on Friday 29th June. One event which is set to go ahead is an in-house ‘Meat Crate Sell-Off’. The event has been supported by Kirk's Quality Foods, Skegness, who have kindly provided Hodgkinsons with a BBQ Pack of meat and cake for trade price. The crate will be sold in-house and all proceeds will go towards helping the daily running and future of St Barnabas Hospice.
John Kirk, Owner of Kirk's Quality Foods, Skegness commented: “This has been a fantastic way for Kirks to get involved with not only a local business but a local charity. I think it is fundamental that local businesses work together where possible and use their services to an advantage to raise money for local charities and I am glad that my company has, in part, been able to help raise money for such a good cause.”
This Friday Hodgkinsons will also be hosting a ‘Yellow Day’ in which staff will wear yellow in exchange for a donation. The company will be updating social media with pictures throughout the day so to keep updated make sure you are following their Facebook, Twitter & Instagram accounts.
Hodgkinsons will shortly reveal the total amount of money they have raised throughout the Accumulator Challenge! To keep an eye on Hodgkinsons’ recent and upcoming charity events and any company news, visit their blog at www.hodgkinsons.co.uk/news
