Shoosmiths LLP in MK are getting involved in the #GivingTuesday Corporate Challenge which is taking place on Tuesday 29 November 2016 - and we need your support!

As a group we are hoping to raise as much money as possible for the Milton Keynes Community Foundation in the run up to, and during, the event.

Why are we raising money?

#GivingTuesday is a global day of giving. It is an opportunity to come together and give something back to the community that we live and/or work in - Milton Keynes.

1 in 5 children in Milton Keynes are living in poverty.

MK Community Foundation will use all the donations and money we raise to make grants to projects that are tackling the effects of child poverty in Milton Keynes. The wellbeing of a child's early years has a significant impact on their long-term education, job prospects and health. With Milton Keynes thriving, we believe it's important to do all that we can to ensure our most vulnerable children are not left behind!

What is the challenge?

We will be taking part in a series of physical and mental challenges throughout the day. The winner of each category will win the acclaim of their fellow competitors and a warm feeling of pride. Some of the categories include:

• The most graceful flyer at iFLY (formally AirKix)
• The nimblest climber at Ellis Brigham Trek and Climb
• Bradley Wiggins time trials for cycling at Nuffield Gym
• Fastest Footlong at Subway
• The most dynamic stretching, most powerful lunging and deepest squatting competition at bootcamp MK College
• The most alluring salsa dance at Revolution de Cuba

The team that raises the most money will win the super shiny #GivingTuesday Corporate Challenge Trophy!

We will be live tweeting our antics throughout the day for the enjoyment and amusement of all!

What are you waiting for?
