DRUM Cornucopia organised numerous events, including Christmas craft stalls, raffles, cake and refreshment stalls, school trip hoodie sales, a Columbian food stall in London and public collections at Asda and Tesco. The team also held fundraising events with DRUM, including the Christmas lunch and Christmas card and mug sales.
Their biggest fundraising event, a Charity Fashion Show, raised an incredible £5,000!
Over 400 items of new and nearly new clothes and fashion accessories were donated for the event, held at Parmiter's School on 25th February. Over 40 models, including pupils and teaching staff, took to the catwalk in front of a packed audience before the items were sold and auctioned at the end of the evening.
There were also various stalls, refreshments and a raffle during the intervals and dance performances and a short film about DRUM.
Team Cornucopia received fantastic support from teaching staff, pupils and parents at Parmiter’s School and from their own parents, who helped with many of the events and arranged some themselves, including a Halloween dress-up day at work and match funding from HSBC. A huge thank you to Team Cornucopia, Parmiter's School, families and friends, and everyone that has supported this year's challenge. Huge congratulations to everyone - we are so proud of you all.
