  • Pretty in pink Friday for a special cause

    Pink Day Celebrations 2011

    We held a Pink afternoon last Friday to raise some money for Breast Cancer Awareness month and for a bit of fun amongst our team. The afternoon included various activities to give everyone the chance to get involved in helping support this important cause. We asked staff to get involved in the pink theme by ensuring at least a third of what they were wearing was in fact pink. Some attempts weren't as successful so luckily we had some pink props on hand in the events dept.

    Activities over the afternoon included a Siteflex Apple* and spoon race up the View St driveway (or for those who dared to take it to another level, a fork), a Pink Jelly eating competition and several rounds of foosball with the winners fighting to donate extra to the cause. Small prizes were awarded to the winners of these events and a best dressed announcement was made. Some team members made more of an effort to get out of their comfort zones, but it took a bit more to get them walking down Argyle St in their full outfits. Heads up to our Director Mark and team member Dom for putting on pink afro wigs during some of the days events.

    We managed to raise $208.70 for the breast cancer foundation, a cause close to the hearts of some of our team.

    For more information on supporting the Breast Cancer Foundation visit the Pink Ribbon website to help.

    Take a look at some of the fun we had on the afternoon and let us know your picks from the day.

    * Note Siteflex Apple and spoon race is a Solutions Outsourced take on the traditionally more messy egg and spoon race. Feel free to contact us if you'd like to know what a Siteflex apple is.
