COCO Fundraising event – Sponsored by That’s Bang-on

TBO recently sponsored COCO’s Red Ribbon Ball fundraising event for children living in poverty overseas. As part of our sponsorship we printed all of the event programmes, alongside Dandy Events who managed the décor and Marriott Hotel Gosforth who provided the venue. The event was held on the 3rd December and raised £13,800, making it a successful night indeed!

Below is a kindly recieved letter of thanks we from COCO

I wanted to write and thank you for your assistance with COCO’s recent Red Ribbon Ball which took place last weekend.

It was such a pleasure to work with you and your team on the programmes and I loved the finished result! I really appreciate the time that you were able to donate for the design and for sponsoring the print of the programmes, in such tough economic times it really helped with making the event a success and has ensured we can send more funds to our projects.

In total we raised £13,800 and it was thanks to companies and people like you that we were able to do this.

As 2011 draws to a close COCO are looking forward to a busy 2012 and I hope you will be part of our plans as we aim to raise even more for children living in poverty overseas.

Very best wishes and may I also take the opportunity to wish you and your team a very Merry Christmas.

Designed, printed and completed all in time for Christmas!

Christmas is on its way and that busy hum of anticipation is in the air once again. But how do we keep our children entertained and out of trouble whilst we go shopping? Well, local company, Edelweiss Christmas Trees has come up with a solution…

Children’s entertainment goodie-bags. They came to us at the start of the festive season with their idea and so we got to work producing 1000 bags of fun! In addition to designing and printing all the whole emsemble, including customisation of a small booklet and bookmark, we also sourced the toys, stencils and crayons and made up the bags ready to go! We delievered the whole kit ‘n’ kaboodle in time for Santa himself to hand them out to all the children visiting Edelweiss this December! Just doing our bit to make Christmas that little bit more special!

We’d like to wish everyone a Bang-on Christmas!
