NXP Semiconductors Open Day

You will have noticed that our offline amount has risen dramatically. This is due to the amazing amount raised during our Open day held on June 28th.Along with the NXP4C/Christie's stall we held raffles, silent auctions and had a 'dunk the manager' attraction. Many thanks to all who contributed to the stall and to the event as a whole, especially Kathryn Cox, it truly was a fantastic day out. For more information please see the link below.

Please give as generously as you possible can to support us.  Everyone knows someone that has been touched by Christies, they are one of the largest cancer treatment centres in Europe and desperately need funds to help provide extra patient services such as ever more effective treatments so chances of surviving cancer are greatly increased, they also undertake important research to achieve their mission of 'a future without cancer'. 

So lets exceed our fundraising target and have a great day out!

Donating through this site is simple, fast and totally secure. It is also the most efficient way to sponsor us: Christie's will receive your money faster and, if you are a UK taxpayer, an extra 28% in tax will be added to your gift at no cost to you.

Thank you for visiting our fundraising page and many thanks for your support.
