We are thrilled to announce the CardGains Charity Challenge 2026, titled "Many Miles, Many Smiles for Meningitis!" This event is a team effort, bringing together representatives and members from the greetings cards industry, including independent retailers, suppliers, and many more. Together, we are walking to raise funds and awareness for a cause that’s close to our hearts — Meningitis Research Foundation.

On Thursday 25th June 2026, our team will be walking 20 miles around Cheshire, all while raising money for vital meningitis research. This challenge is a way for all of us to come together as an industry to make a difference and support the incredible work being done to fight meningitis.

Our Goal: £20,000

We’ve set an ambitious target of £20,000, and we are determined to reach it with your help. Every donation, no matter the size, will make a real difference in funding research to better prevent, diagnose, and treat meningitis, as well as support families affected by the disease.

Why Meningitis?

Meningitis is a serious, life-threatening illness that can affect anyone at any time. The Meningitis Research Foundation is working tirelessly to find new treatments, raise awareness, and offer support to those affected. By supporting our walk, you're directly contributing to this important cause and helping to save lives.

Join Us in Making a Difference!

This challenge is more than just a walk — it’s about uniting as a community within the greetings cards industry and beyond to make a tangible impact. We know the 20 miles won’t be easy, but with your generous support, we will make it every step of the way, knowing that we’re helping to create a future where meningitis is no longer a threat.

Thank you for your support. Together, we can make a difference and put many more smiles on the faces of those who need it most.
