Sheffield based Eldon Tool and Engineering Limited recently announced that their supported charity for 2012 would be Weston Park Hospital Cancer Charity and they kicked off the fundraising with Wear a Wig Day at their Don Road factory.

 

With much enthusiasm and hilarity the Eldon workforce embraced the event with over half of the staff taking part, all happily paying for the privilege. And of course, those who didn’t partake were even happier to contribute!

 

General Manager Stuart Smith said, “We were delighted that over £100 was raised and this gives a terrific kick-start to the company’s fundraising for Weston Park for the coming year.”

Katie Cartwright, Fundraiser, said: “We are thrilled that Eldon Tools have chosen to support the Cancer Charity and we are looking forward to working with them in 2012.”

 

“The wig day was a great start to their fundraising and I’m sure they will have lots of other fun ideas!”
