“Keep collecting those bras” is the message from the Express & Star as we make a final push for our Thanks for Your Support campaign.We’ll soon be taking them off you so please offload as many as you can to support our crusade to raise as much money as possible for Macmillan Cancer Support.
Our campaign, run in conjunction with Macmillan, encourages as many people as possible to donate their old bras and bikini tops for recycling while collecting £1 from each person at the same time.
At last count we had a fantastic 69 companies and individuals registered to the campaign.
And we’ll be contacting you all from the end of next week regarding collection. But there’s still time for others to sign up to the campaign. So please fill in the registration form.
We have been running our campaign throughout October, which is Breast Cancer Awareness Month.
A host of fundraising events have taken place across the Black Country during October including yesterday’s “Wear it Pink” day.
Staff at Debenhams in Walsall were dressed for success as they wore pink to help raise money for Breast Cancer Research.
Both women and men at the store wore pink outfits and wigs for Wear It Pink day.
They had to pay £2 for the right to go pink with all money going to the charity.
Customers also took part in the fun buying tickets for a raffle and purchasing a goodie bag for a £1.
l Our campaign, run in conjunction with Macmillan Cancer Support, needs you to register to take part to to raise as much money as possible for the charity.
We want companies, schools, colleges, groups, perhaps streets to register and encourage as many people as possible to donate their old bras and bikini tops for recycling while collecting £1 from each person at the same time.
Starting on November 3, recycling firm JP Wilcox of Bilston, along with a Macmillan representative, will collect all the bras and money.
