£80,000 Raised for Rainbow
April 2008
Maris Interiors was delighted to hand over a cheque for £80,000 to Heather Wood, Chief Executive of Rainbow Trust Children’s Charity in London last month. Heather commented, “The fantastic team at Maris have once again achieved the most amazing success in raising £80,000 for Rainbow Trust, and more importantly have also increased our profile nationally through their much publicised Guinness World Record Breaking impersonation of Sir Richard Branson. I am incredibly impressed by the passion and commitment of everyone involved in the Maris business and their desire and ability to help families who face the toughest of times with a very sick child. All of us are touched by their ambition and continuing support and we are thrilled to be progressing our relationship in 2008".
The Maris team has pledged to maintain their support for Rainbow Trust through 2008. The charity receive no statutory funding from the government and need to raise £3.2M this year to enable them to support families who have children with life threatening or terminal illnesses. Rainbow relies 100% on voluntary donations from individuals, companies, trusts, community groups and via fundraising through sports and special events to raise much needed funds.
