I have recently passed the £2500 mark with my fundraising but still have a long way to go before I reach my £4000 target and so I am researching further fundraising ideas and hope to get another event under way.
From past experience Raffles are always popular and so I have started writing to more companies to ask for their help. One of my favourite retailers, Kiehl's enthusiastically replied to me and I was delighted to meet with the Edinburgh store manager, Shona Walker, last week. She kindly donated a gift box of goodies, worth approx £40 and beautifully wrapped.
For those who are not familiar with this brand, Kiehl's is an American cosmetic and skincare retailer specialising in premier skin, hair and body care products . It was founded in New York as a single pharmacy in 1851 and respects it's old-fashioned values to ths day. Furthermore Kiehl's is committed to giving back to it's communities and is actively engaged in charitable initiatives both locally and globally. I am impressed by their mission and that these values have filtered down to store level and encouraged the staff at the George St store to support me in my fundraising endeavours for WaterAid!
Thank you Shona & Kiehl's!
