AMETEK Airtechnology - Just prior to the Christmas break, we were happy to present a further cheque for £5,582.62 to each of our nominated local charities.
Over the course of what has been an unprecedented year, our team has taken part in numerous fundraising events including washing cars, raffles, sports sweepstake, silent auction and cranked up the competitive spirit with a virtual quiz, plus much more! This has allowed us to raise an incredible overall total for 2020 of £15,271.04; our highest fund raising total to date!
Liz Blunt, Senior Fundraising Engagement Manager, CLIC Sargent: “Every day 12 children and young people in this country are diagnosed with cancer and CLIC Sargent is there from the beginning of treatment, providing vital emotional, practical and financial support for young cancer patients and their families. We don’t receive any Government funding and can only do this with the huge thanks of companies like AMETEK. We are so grateful for their incredible fundraising in a very difficult fundraising climate this year; they have been amazing and thanks to them we can provide essential support that is so needed. Their generous donation will really make a difference, so thank you so much to all the staff at AMETEK.”
Carol Endericks, Senior Fundraising Manager, St Christopher’s Hospice: “St Christopher’s is so grateful to AMETEK for choosing them as one of their charities this year. This was one of the most challenging times to be raising money to support the hospice, but a time when it was needed even more than ever. The staff raised an incredible £7,635.32 this year to allow the hospice to continue to care for families experiencing very difficult times. The support from the Ametek staff means so much to the clinicians and support workers taking care of St Christopher’s patients during these very challenging times.”
