Foster in the pink

Foster-Wear-it-Pink

UK: Staff at King’s Lynn-based Foster Refrigerator have a rosy glow after raising over £500 for the Breast Cancer Now charity.

Foster joined workers at other companies across the UK by dressing up in anything pink for the breast cancer charity’s Wear it Pink day.

Every year, the campaign raises around £2m during Breast Cancer Awareness Month in October, and since the first Wear it Pink event in 2002, it has raised over £27m, thanks to the support around 7,093 schools, 39,964 workplaces and 8,256 homes and social venues at its last count.
