Creative firms take to the pitch for charity
A total of 16 teams including digital marketers TheEWord, Shaping Cloud and PushOn took part in this year’s JCI Manchester charity football tournament raising over £1,000 for the Royal Manchester Children’s Hospital.
The event, sponsored by Grill on the Alley, took place at the Manchester Lucozade Powerleague pitches on Tuesday 24th January with Private banking firm Brown Shipley prevailing as winners after a 6-2 win over accountancy firm Crowe Clark Whitehill.
Marketing Director for JCI Manchester, Robert Illidge, commented: “The event was a huge success and I would like to thank everybody for taking part and our sponsors Grill on the Alley. It’s always great to see local businesses coming together to raise much needed charity funds especially on a cold, wet, January evening. We’re always looking for new ways to fundraise and encourage ideas from our members and the public.”
In June 2011 members of JCI Manchester, the personal development organisation for young professionals and entrepreneurs, completed the national 3 Peaks Challenge raising over £6,000 for the RMCH.
