Molson Coors (UK) employees raise £80,000 in first partnership year

Molson Coors (UK) employees have raised £40,000 for its corporate charity Whizz-Kidz since its official launch in August 2010, and the UK Board has agreed to match-fund the amount – making a grand total of £80,000 for the charity.

Molson Coors (UK) chose Whizz-Kidz to be their new corporate charity partner in 2010 for a two-year partnership.

The £80,000 total so far is enough to provide 16 young people with the right wheelchair to be active and independent.

Here are just some of the highlights of fundraising from across the UK business:

The sales teams from across Midlands, Wales & West who have raised an incredible £22,000, more than half our company total.

  • The Burton Admin ladies who raised £1,700 with a Christmas Hamper Raffle.
  • Team Snowdon who raised more than £2,500.
  • The Red Barrows team who raised more than £2,800.
  • The team in Leeds who raised over £2,300 from Christmas activities.

Fenella Bain, Corporate Fundraiser at Whizz-Kidz said: “This is an incredible amount that completely smashes Molson Coors’ (UK) target for this year. The team have been inspired with their fundraising and for the Board to match the £40k raised is phenomenal.“This support will help disabled children across the UK get the right equipment and training so they can be active and get up to their own inspirational fun.”
