Friday 15th February… Half Term for some!!!! What Georgies Fund did on Caps for Kids day!!!! Friday 15th February is a very special day across the world as it's marked as 'International Childhood Cancer Day'. A day where everyone around the world raises money for the same cause? Children with cancer! Naturally Georgie's Fund wanted to be part of this day and thought WHAT CAN WE DO? Whilst wearing a cap an idea was born? 'Caps for Kids'. What we asked our fundraisers to do was pay a £1 and in turn you can wear a cap or any kind of head gear for the day whether you are at home, school or work! In turn all the money raised went to Georgie's Fund who invests these funds into vital research for a cure for this evil disease, Neuroblastoma. Caps for Kids created a lot of excitement with our fund raisers, one in particular being Fullbrook School entered into the spirit beyond our wildest dreams! Firstly Fullbrook asked us to attend 2 assembly's so that we could give a talk on what Georgie's Fund is, what 'Caps for Kids' is and how they could get involved. Year 7 and 8 sat very quietly listening to our presentation looking sad at the story but excited at the prospect of being able to wear something different on Friday 15th, especially as it was the day they broke up for half term! Baby Neve - Our youngest participant in 'Caps For Kids Day' After the assembly many questions were raised and they all went off looking forward to doing something a little different before they broke up. On the Friday 15th Fullbrook had entered into the spirit of things as promised… ….. I arrived to set up our information boards and deliver a fresh supply of wristbands and badges and was amazed by the enthusiasm and ingenuity of the students. It was quite emotional actually being that these students are Georgie's year group and some knew him very well. There were many pink fluffy items of headwear along with wigs, trilbies and caps. They had really entered into the spirit and it was causing lots of laughter around the school. Sue set up in the students canteen with wristbands etc and it was lovely for me to spend some time talking to some of the students and giving Sue and her daughters Emily and Bethany a hand. The day was a success and the amount raised was a staggering £520!!! Georgie's Fund would like to give a very big special thanks to Sue Jones and Karen Turner, Head of Year 7 for organising this on behalf of Georgies Fund. We are all so very grateful to you for letting us into your assembly’s and enabling us to tell your students about the disease and how they can help. They both worked hard to get this organised! Georgie's Fund think Fullbrook School are fantastic and look forward to seeing you all again soon. Have you got a 'Caps for Kids Day' story? We'd love to hear about it if you do and we will add it to our website. Love Photo's of the day HERE. Mission Statement | Contact Us | Disclaimer | Sitemap Copyright Georgie's Fund 2004-2007 ©
