TEAM EFFORT!
The pink ribbon is an international symbol of breast cancer awareness.... it is also used by legal firms to tie up a brief for delivery to a barrister!!
Each October - breast cancer awareness month - hundreds, if not thousands of products are emblazened with pink ribbons, or coloured pink.
People raise money by organizing different activities such as "Pink Day"whereby each employee wears an article of pink clothing, ribbon or accessory at work to signify their intention to support/raise money in aid of breast cancer.
Talk about team effort, a VERY BIG THANK YOU goes to Claire and Liz from ABD's Accounts Department for organising once again "dress down day including something pink." This was in support of breast cancer charity which took place on 29th of last month! All the office staff took part! THAT IS - Devizes, Calne, Wootton Bassett and Marlborough Offices! Its the taking part that counts!!
Their day not only included dressing down and wearing something pink, for £2.00 each, but also a buffet lunch whereby each employee provided food and everyone ate a plate of lunch for £1.00! a tombola, a raffle, cakes were made for sale and more!!
At the end of the day, an amazing total of £197.60 was raised! These proceeds will go towards helping to find a cure, breast cancer care, or research programmes.
As for the historical lawyers pink ribbon, that will just continue to tie up briefs!!
