HASLERS FOUNDATION FUNDRAISES FOR THE DREAM FACTORY
During the afternoon of Friday 2nd July, 2010, a fundraising 'Wimbledon-Style' Strawberry Cream Tea was held and enjoyed by a gathering of Haslers staff, local clients and friends, whilst also watching Andy Murray and Rafael Nadal playing at the Wimbledon Men´s Semi-Final on the screen at their offices in Loughton.
Haslers Foundation hosted the Friday afternoon event as well as a Raffle of Wimbledon branded gifts, in order to be able to continue to raise funds for its Charity of the Year 2010, The Dream Factory, and specifically for Bhavin´s Dream to be realised.
Bhavin suffers from Congenital Hydrocephalus which means he has severe physical disabilities and finds communication extremely difficult. His dream is to communicate with the outside world and he can only do this with The Dream Factory´s help in purchasing special computer equipment. Haslers Foundation was able to present Avril Mills, Founder of The Dream Factory, a cheque for just over £1,500 and it is hoped that further fundraising events by Haslers´ staff will enable the full cost of Bhavin´s computer equipment, £2,500, to be covered.
Haslers Foundation was set up to offer donations and sponsorship to charities and local fundraisers in areas of sport, welfare, education and other good causes.
If you would like Haslers Foundation to consider your request for fundraising sponsorship or a charitable donation please contact foundation@haslers.com or telephone 020 8418 3333 and ask to speak to a Foundation member.
