CXL charity fundraising smashes all targets

16 December 2008

Staff at CXL have smashed their own target by raising an amazing £3249.21 in support of their sponsored charity Nightsafe.

CXL had pledged to raise £2500 for Nightsafe, representing a year’s worth of meals for a resident at the Blackburn-based charity.

But now, staff have surpassed all expectations by raising even more funds than anticipated…and only half way into the year-long appeal!

The staggering total-so-far is the result of an amazing array of fundraising activities such as sponsored head-shaves, light-bulb collections, car-washes, BBQs and a glittering charity ball which takes place this Friday.

CXL Managing Director says it’s the best Christmas present the organisation could give:

“I’m delighted by this achievement and the imagination that colleagues have shown to raise this money.

"It’s no exaggeration to say that CXL makes a significant impact on thousands of people and everyone can feel proud of what we’ve achieved not only as part of the “day job” but also in our charity fund raising for Nightsafe”.

Nightsafe Chief Executive Paula Kaniuk said:

“How fantastic! We’re amazed at your funding so far! This is fantastic news for us!”

CXL’s continued fundraising efforts will now contribute towards Nightsafe’s redecoration of long term accommodation for 16-18 year olds at Witton.
