Yes, we're doing it again...
This is the fifth year that LEWIS PR has been involved with Byte Night, the IT
industry’s annual sleep out in support of children’s charity Action for
Children. Every year, hundreds of individuals and teams from the IT
industry spend a night exposed to the elements in a bid to raise
sponsorship and awareness of youth homelessness.
Byte Night 2009
will take place on October 2 and plans to banish the economic doom and gloom by being the biggest and best yet. Over three hundred people (including six LEWISites) are expected to sleep
out in Potter's Field, London, hoping to raise over £500,000 in vital
sponsorship for Action for Children.
This year will also see
local Byte Night events in Thames Valley, Birmingham, Manchester, Newcastle and
Edinburgh on the same night. If you're in the area, and want to get
involved, let us know and we'll put you in touch with a local organiser.
So,
please sponsor the LEWIS team (it's proper outdoor stuff - no tents or
anything!) and help the sleepers towards the £500,000 target!
Many thanks for your support,
The team at LEWIS
