Marie Curie Cancer Care is to receive a welcome fundraising boost after being chosen as the national 2014 charity partner for heating and hot water manufacturer, Baxi.
Baxi has pledged to give support to the charity, which provides care for those with terminal illnesses, and has set a fundraising target of £50,000 for 2014. The charity was chosen as Baxi‘s official partner after an employee vote.
Throughout 2014, Baxi employees will help to raise money for the charity, donate their time to volunteering for projects, and get involved in campaign work.
Paul Hardy, managing director of Baxi, said:
To be fundraising for such a worthy cause means a great deal to everyone at Baxi and we look forward to getting involved with the exciting fundraising activities.
We hope to raise a significant amount of money this year which will make a huge difference to Marie Curie Cancer Care and everyone who benefits from their care.
Arun Sharma, head of corporate at Marie Curie Cancer Care, said:
All the money raised as part of the partnership will enable us to continue providing free care to those approaching the end of their life, either at home or in one of our nine hospices.
