Teamwork makes the fundraising dream work – CRASH Corporate Patrons Knauf and Volkerfitzpatrick unite for joint fundraiser
CRASH Corporate Patrons, Knauf and VolkerFitzpatrick came together to host a joint fundraiser in aid of CRASH, raising an amazing £1,692 to support our vital work.
The amazing duo organised a Wildgoose chase, collaborating throughout the process and delivering a memorable team building afternoon.11 teams gathered at the Knauf showroom in Clerkenwell rocking their best fancy dress to take part in the GPS scavenger hunt, unlocking various immersive challenges and tasks as they stomped around London in the sunshine.
After completing their challenges, or as many as possible within the 1 hour 45 mins, teams returned to the showroom for refreshments, games and the charity raffle – all raising extra donations for CRASH.
Knauf and VolkerFitzpatrick harnessed the support of their supply chains as sponsors so the team entry fees could be donated directly to CRASH, whilst involving more of the industry in their event. In addition to entry costs, event company ‘We are Wildgoose’ have partnered with CRASH to offer 25% of the activity cost when companies mention CRASH!
