Vote CL at Brindleyplace and make Birmingham proud!

2nd December 2014

Cure Leukaemia are delighted to have been shortlisted as a charity partner of Brindleyplace in Birmingham for 2015 and 2016.

We will now compete against two other charities on Friday 12th December to win the votes of both tenants and the Birmingham public, with the winning charity being awarded the 2015 and 2016 Dragonboat Festival - an event which this year raised an incredible £66,000!

We are now calling on you, our fantastic fundraisers, partners and supporters to come along to Brindleyplace this Friday between 11am to 2pm to vote for Cure Leukaemia!

The Cure Leukaemia team will be situated in Brindleyplace central square and they will be bringing you a host of festive and FUN activities to help gain votes - with the fantastic Glynn Purnell joining us to give his Christmas cooking tips and hand out some special home-made Christmas treats!

See below the full list of our planned activities and there will be even more excitement on the day itself! We would love to see you at Brindleyplace voting for our charity, safe in the knowledge that you will be helping support our 'Birmingham, Let's cure leukaemia' campaign, which aims to help the city find a cure for blood cancer in the next 30 years.

In the past year, the team at Cure Leukaemia has worked closely with the team at Brindleyplace, none more so than when 50 fire-fighters from West Midlands Fire Service took part in a 50-hour human hamster wheel challenge under the bandstand, raising over £7,000. Back in 2013, Brindleyplace was also the chosen venue to launch Team Cure Leukaemia's 455 runners for the Bupa Great Birmingham Run, raising over £125,000.
 

In July this year, alongside the University of Birmingham we launched the “Birmingham. Let’s cure leukaemia” campaign which aims to help the city find a cure for blood cancer in the next 30 years - by coming down to Brindleyplace on Friday 12th December and voting for Cure Leukaemia, you will be helping us achieve this aim.
