Parker Building Supplies, Chandlers Building Supplies, Fairalls and Stamco Hoppings have launched a branch-wide ‘World Cup’ penalty shoot-out challenge for charity.
In aid of Teenage Cancer Trust (TCT), customers are given four shots at goal with any additional shots requiring a £2 donation to the charity with the chance to win prizes from crates of beer, to footballs or other World Cup merch.
Nick Needham, branch manager of Eastbourne’s Parker Building Supplies, said: “The aim is to have some World Cup footie fun while also raising funds for the TCT. Our customers have been great sports! They love the challenge and are keen to get involved. We’ve had a good number of ‘strikers’ give it a go – turns out builders are quite good footballers too! There’s still plenty more prizes up for grabs, so we’re hoping to raise a tidy sum for TCT.”
Lynn Hyder of Teenage Cancer Trust, added: “We are very grateful to everyone at Chandlers, Parker and Fairalls for their ongoing fundraising efforts for us. It is thanks to you that Teenage Cancer Trust can continue to support young people with cancer.
“Every £30 raised helps fund an hour of specialised nursing support for a young person having treatment for cancer, so the ongoing support of Parker Building Supplies and its partners will continue to make a difference to people’s lives.”
