 Charity First for SII (NI)
The Northern Ireland branch of the Sales Institute of Ireland has adopted Marie Curie Cancer Care as its first 'Charity of the Year'.
Over the next 12 months, the Institute's 200+ NI members will work collectively to raise funds for this important charity, which provides care and support to people with cancer.
"We are delighted to announce this charity partnership," said Noel Brady, NI Chairman of the SII. "Cancer touches so many lives and affects all communities so it is fitting, that as a business-focused organisation with members spanning the entire province, we can work together to support Marie Curie in its important fund-raising campaign."
The Institute's Marie Curie appeal will officially kick-start in September with an 'end of summer' BBQ. Other fundraising events planned for the year include raffles, quizzes and a sponsored relay challenge in the 2006 Belfast Marathon.
