Spicers and 3M working together for children and young people fighting life-threatening illnesses

With the target of £5,000 already achieved, Spicers and 3M are celebrating the early success of their charity fund-raising Post-it® Notes promotion. Sales linked to the promotion will benefit Make-A-Wish Foundation® UK, the charity that grants magical wishes to children and young people fighting life-threatening illnesses. The promotion runs to December 28.

“We had an initial target of £5,000, but dealers have been so enthusiastic about this promotion that we have reached our target with seven weeks of the promotion still to run! If the promotion-linked sales continue at this rate, we are hoping to raise enough by Christmas to help grant a wish to more than one child, which would be fantastic,” explains Jamie Boomer, Merchandising Manager at Spicers.

These sterling efforts are very much appreciated by Make-A-Wish Foundation. Karen England, Director of Fundraising said, “We are absolutely thrilled at the response being shown to the 3M and Spicers Post-it® Notes promotion. Make-A-Wish hopes to grant around 600 magical wishes in 2008 and the support we receive from 3M and Spicers will be a significant contribution towards this.”

3M is donating 50p for every special pack of CanaryTM Yellow Post-it® Notes purchased. As an extra incentive, each special pack has with it a free limited edition pack of star-shaped Post-it Notes.
