MacMillan’s World’s Biggest Coffee Morning Proves A Huge Success at Howards
Our
MacMillan’s coffee morning on September 26th proved a great success
raising a total of £901.39 towards a
fantastic cause.
All dealerships took part, including
those located in Weston-super-Mare, Taunton, Yeovil and Dorchester. Offering the
best cakes in Somerset, we were all pleased to make a contribution to such a
great cause that has so far to date raised £8, 718, 863 nationwide. Originating
in 1990, the event started when a local fundraising committee decided to hold a
coffee morning to meet, mingle and most importantly donate. Over the past 24
years this has generated nearly £133 million for MacMillan Cancer Support and
continues to grow!
Cancer will affect more than 1 in 3
people in their lifetime, with rates increasing by more than a 1/3 in the last
40 years alone. The World’s Biggest Coffee Morning is MacMillan’s largest
fundraising event, with over 154 000 participants in 2013. Money raised makes
sure no one has to face cancer alone, from diagnosis to treatment and right through
to recovery. Work by Macmillan includes medical, emotional, practical and
financial support, pushing for a better cancer care system that reaches all
corners of the UK.
Providing the opportunity to raise money
at home, work or school, the official event date was the 26th
September but it’s still not too late to get involved
and host your own coffee morning or get planning for next year by ordering your
