New Rose to raise thousands for cancer
charity with boost from Computacenter
European
IT infrastructure services company Computacenter is working with
Macmillan Cancer Relief to raise funds through the sale of a new
breed of rose, ‘Helping Hands’. For every ‘Helping
Hands’ rose-bush sold, a donation will be made to Macmillan
to provide expert care and support for people living with cancer.
The ‘Helping Hands’ rose has been grown and developed on behalf of brothers, Ian and Neal Silverstein, whose mother, Margaret Anne Silverstein, died from cancer in 2000, and was supported during her illness by Macmillan. Neal’s employer, Computacenter, has pledged to match pound for pound the money raised from the sale of the rose. With Computacenter’s support, a donation of four pounds will be made to Macmillan for a single rose and up to twenty pounds for a three-bush pack.
‘IT companies like Computacenter don’t get involved with roses every day,’ says Macmillan’s Fundraising Developer Manager, Lisa Irwin. ‘It’s great to see companies embracing new, unusual fundraising ideas to support both their employees and also people with cancer.’
The rose can be ordered via Love4plants Ltd on 01480 408589 or
by FAX on 01480 408586.
Postal Orders can be made to Love4plants Ltd, Piper House, New Street, St Neots,
