Martin House Corporate Challenge

Posted by:

Platinum client Keycare was responsible for raising £2044.23 for Martin House. This was achieved by a number of volunteers of the Keycare team dressing as pirates and hosting a range of games at the White Rose Centre in Leeds. There was a children’s treasure chest full of goodies, a tombola for the adults and a ‘play your cards right’ game.

Along with Keycare there were a number of other companies there over a two week period and the aim was to raise as much money as possible, Keycare were the eventual winners of this challenge and Platinum were more than happy to design and print a huge cheque on our large format printer for presentation.

This is just a sample of the sort of items we can produce - contact us for more info!
