Rawlison Butler raised £10,000 for St Catherine’s Hospice during 2011. The company aims to raise £30,000 over three years to part-fund the care and comfort that the charity provides in the community.
Leading by example was the senior partner at the firm, Digby Armstrong, who raised £3,500 kayaking around the Isle of Wight. He said: “Thanks to everyone in the firm for getting involved and raising so much money.”
Tony Hyams-Parish, head of employment law, preferred dry land and ran the London Marathon in four hours. The rest of the money was raised by events such as a quiz, bowling challenge, cake sales, a live music event, Rock Copthorne, and through donations to the hospice in Horsham and Crawley.
The company believes that its fundraising events are a way of saying thank you for the support that the charity provides.
Michael Beasley, corporate fundraiser for St. Catherine’s Hospice said: “This incredible amount of money reflects the commitment and enthusiasm the team at Rawlison Butler has shown to our cause. We wish them success for fundraising in 2012.”
