Card specialist’s seasonal sale donations hit £28,000 for CoppaFeel! cancer charity
They’re feeling good at Scribbler as the retail chain’s CoppaFeel! efforts have so far raised over £28,000 for the breast cancer awareness charity.
“Although much of what we do is humorously tongue-in-cheek,” Scribbler head of design Aisling Crosland said, “our work with CoppaFeel! allows us to deliver an important message but in a light-hearted way that’s definitely no joke.”
Having partnered with the charity for the past few years, staff from the humorous greeting card specialist last week visited the CoppaFeel! offices to celebrate racking up a whopping £28,586.02 since autumn 2021 by donating 12.5% of every sale on selected seasonal products.
Founded by in 2009 by Kris Hallenga and her twin sister Maren, after Kris was diagnosed with secondary breast cancer at just 23, the charity’s mission is to give everyone, no matter their age, race or gender, the best possible chance of surviving the disease.
All the money Scribbler customers have generously helped raise allows CoppaFeel! to carry on its great work:
- £5 can prompt 100 people to check their chest by sending them a cheeky, witty monthly text message reminder.
- £20 can send two GP Awareness Packs to support practices spreading the message with their patients.
- £25 can equip 200 student halls with shower hangers, reminding them to check their chests.
Aisling added: “Without all the wonderful Scribbler customers who buy either online or in store, raising a total like this for CoppaFeel! just wouldn’t be possible, so this is the part where we say a massive thank you. Not only does it mean the absolute world to us but in doing so, we’re all helping CoppaFeel! with their meaningful work that can actually save lives.”
Scribbler is continuing to work with its main charity partner knowing that, so far in 2022, its customers’ generosity has allowed CoppaFeel! to send out over 400,000 of its monthly Boob Check text reminders and more than 470 Awareness Packs full of all the materials needed to educate a community about becoming a champion chest checker. As well as this, around 50,000 people tried out the charity’s brand-new Self-Checkout web app in the first six months after it launched.
