CAST UK teams up with JD Sports for festive charity raffle
Blog
We are delighted to have teamed up with our client, JD Sports, to offer an epic opportunity to see The Who live in concert at Manchester’s Phones4U Arena this coming weekend, as part of the leading sports fashion retailer’s festive ’Guess Who…..?’ charity competition.
The tickets are a donation from Cast UK and will see two lucky winners enjoy the opportunity to look back on 50 years of the legendary band as Roger Daltry, Pete Townsend, John Entwistle and Keith Moon perform their greatest hits to a packed arena. The competition is open to all colleagues at the Kingsway Distribution Centre and the winners and runners up were selected on Wednesday 10th December. The competition will raise funds for JD Sports’ official charity, The Christie – Europe’s largest cancer centre, treating more than 40,000 patients each year. Wayne Brophy, Managing Director of leading recruitment company, Cast UK, said: “As a charity that is close to our hearts, we wanted to contribute to the competition and thought this would be a prize to remember. Not only will it be a once-in-a-lifetime gig, but we hope it goes some way to raise valuable funding for such a worthy charity.” Karen Owen, from JD Sports, added: “It’s great to see the Cast UK team get involved with one of our annual Christmas activities again this year. We’ve taken advantage of the theme and introduced a ‘Guess Who?’ picture quiz to inject some fun into the DC during this busy time. It is great that we can also support a fantastic charity whilst doing so.”
