Cash4...Breakfast: Cash4Gold and MC Hammer launch Feed the Children's Breakfast2Live Campaign
SHEFFIELD, England, December 9/PRNewswire/ -- Leading mail-in gold buyer Cash4Gold and MC Hammer, three-time Grammy
award winner, today announced the launch of Breakfast2Live, a Feed The
Children (UK) campaign. The Breakfast2Live campaign calls on groups and
individuals around the UK to hold breakfasts to raise money for the charity's
life-saving projects in developing countries and UK breakfast clubs.
Cash4Gold secured GBP10,000 for the charity by donating the money through
the Big Give website, whose sponsoring Reed Organisation matched
pound-for-pound Cash4Gold's pledge at the maximum contribution level of
GBP5,000.
Brian Main, Charity Chief Executive of Feed The Children, said: "We thank
Cash4Gold for its extremely generous contribution and are deeply appreciative
of the company's - and MC Hammer's - proven and long-standing commitment to
the critical work that we do. Breakfast is the most important meal of the day
and we are asking people to take time out for just one meal to think about
the thousands of children who need our help in this country and abroad. In
the week commencing Monday, February 22nd we'd like people to run or join a
breakfast event that will raise money for Feed The Children (UK)."
MC Hammer, three-time Grammy award-winner and celebrity endorser of
Cash4Gold, said: "We're delighted to support Feed the Children's worthwhile
campaign here in the UK. We want to help the campaign succeed in ensuring
that more children around the world get the right they deserve - to eat
breakfast. Cash4Gold and I have been involved in Feed the Children events for
years, including distributing food to needy families and utilising social
media to raise support for Feed The Children (US) following natural disasters
in the Pacific and widespread flooding at home in Georgia."
Jeff Aronson, CEO of Cash4Gold, said: "Cash4Gold has for a long time
supported Feed The Children in the US and we're pleased to be doing the same
in the UK. We want to encourage as many people as possible to join us in
supporting the vital work of this great organization. Hammer has five
children and I have three, so helping kids is something very near and dear to
our hearts."
Cash4Gold, the world's #1 gold buyer direct from consumers, launched in
the UK in July 2009 and chose Sheffield as its base due to its renowned
industrial roots as the Steel City.
Feed The Children has a number of ideas of how people can raise money for
Breakfast2Live:
- You can host a breakfast and invite friends (get items
donated and then charge a small fee of say GBP5.00 per breakfast).
- Restaurants and cafes can donate a small percentage of the price
of a special 'Breakfast2Live' on the menu to the charity, or have a
collection tin on the day and ask for donations to the charity from
everyone eating in the restaurant.
- If you have regular coffee mornings, get a batch of cakes or
breakfast muffins donated or baked, invite your friends along and if
everyone pays about GBP1.50 for a cup of tea or coffee and a muffin you
can raise money that way.
