Local opticians go pink for cancer research
The team at an opticians in Warwick sported pink clothes and rolled out fun, charitable activities in aid of Cancer Research UK.
Colleagues at Specsavers in Warwick, a locally owned and run store, joined the ‘Turn the Town Pink’ initiative this October and ditched their usual uniform in favour of shades of pink. During the fundraising week, the Market Place store hosted various activities including a sweepstake, a hair braiding service and the chance to win a pair of prescription glasses. The team also put their baking skills to the test, tempting customers with an array of perfectly pink cakes in exchange for a small donation, raising over £100 for Cancer Research UK.
‘We’re thrilled to participate in such a wonderful campaign alongside our community’, says Lena Aggarwal, store director at Specsavers Warwick. ‘We’d like to say a big thank you to all our customers who stopped by, joined in with the fun and helped us to raise funds for such an amazing charity.’
