Our Charity Event - Let's Take it Outside 2010

Just 2 weeks ago, we ran a charity event raising money for two incredible causes in Newcastle Freeman Hospital and the CCU of Bristol Infirmary Hospital. The event marked our company's 2nd birthday but the driving force was raising money for causes that supported a very close friend, Martin Hall who sadly passed away earlier this year after a long battle with a complex heart condition.

Despite having a condition that stopped Martin from joining in many activities, he always involved himself even if it meant from the sidelines.

We were absolutely blessed with an incredible degree of support for the charity event. This came through an amazing range of prizes, donations, event support, media coverage and people giving up their prescious time to help out. I'm including some huge thank you's at the bottom of this blog for those that supported and made the day a complete success.

The event was an absolute success and everyone got stuck in taking part in the activities, challenges and many brightened up the day with some impressive face painting. We managed to raise over £700 for the charities which we're delighted with.

The results of the actual events will be going up on our main website 'Hall of Fame' very soon (http://www.creatingchaos.co.uk/) and you'll be able to see some of the blistering results achieved on the day.

Here are some photo's from our colourful day in October...

In no particular order, I'd like to say a massive thank you to the following people:

We had an absolute ball and we'll most definately be running the event next year...bigger, better and possibly a warmer month :)
