Putting Asthma in the Limelight

From 2–10 May 2009 Asthma UK will be running a new and exciting fundraising week, Putting Asthma in the Limelight, to raise vital funds for the 5.4 million people with asthma in the UK.

We would be delighted for your employees to get involved by running fun and easy lime themed fundraising activities and help us by Putting Asthma in the Limelight!

We will promote companies who support this fundraising week, where possible, with features on Asthma UK’s Putting Asthma in the Limelight website page (the website receives around 450,000 hits per month) with your company’s logo prominently displayed and articles in Asthma Magazine (readership of 80,000).

Employee Fundraising Opportunities:

• Hold a ‘wear lime’ dress down day (staff can also purchase lime outfits or accessories from Party Domain Ltd who are donating 10% of their sales to Asthma UK from 2 March).
• Participate in lime themed employee fundraising activities such as ‘eat lime’ or ‘drink lime’ (bake-a-thons or cake sales and cocktail parties).
• Hold your very own office ‘Olimepics’ with lime themed events, and get into the London 2012 spirit!
• Organise a lime themed quiz and encourage employees to enter in teams
• Launch product promotions on any lime products from your range with a % donation to Asthma UK from the sale of these during May. 
• Support our Bagpuss Appeal (exclusive mascot for Asthma UK) by selling Bagpuss pin badges and other products to staff and customers during May.
