Sigmer donate over £6,000 to bibic in 2007
31st December 2007. The end of 2007 sees a year of fund raising for bibic come to a close for Sigmer. bibic has been our supported charity since Christmas 2006, and in total we are thrilled to have made a contribution of over £6,000 to the organisation.
Our support for bibic started at Christmas 2006, when instead of purchasing Christmas gifts for clients, Sigmer made a donation of £3,000 to bibic; the amount required to support a child at bibic for 1 year. Staff then got behind the initiative and took on a number of fund raising campaigns to raise more money for bibic. A mixture of raffles, marathons, cake sales, competitions and other efforts resulted in over £1,500 being raised by Sigmer staff.
Lastly, for Christmas 2007, Sigmer again made another donation to bibic in lieu of purchasing gifts for clients. This time, the donation was used to contribute towards bibic's capital build short-break centre project.
Together, this brings our total contribution to bibic to over £6,000. Sigmer staff have thoroughly enjoyed supporting bibic, and we look forward to supporting our new charity in 2008 - The Martlets Hospice.
