SOLICITORS BACK SIZZLING FUNDRAISING EVENT FOR CANCER CHARITY

On Thursday 18 April, Devon-based law firm Gilbert Stephens LLP will be hosting The Great Devon Breakfast in aid of local cancer charity, FORCE.

The Great Devon Breakfast is an annual fundraising event organised by the local cancer charity and last year, 14 different venues across the county hosted a Great Devon Breakfast, raising £10,000 between them.

The event supported by Gilbert Stephens LLP will be held at St Olaves Hotel located on Mary Arches street and starts at 8am. Breakfast costs £8 and includes a full English with tea or coffee and organisers hope it will help raise around £500 for the local charity.

Philip Luckham, CEO for Gilbert Stephens, comments: “FORCE is one of our nominated charities of the year and this event will kick-start our partnership with them and we hope lots of business people will join us and get behind the event. FORCE provide invaluable support to local people affected by cancer and we are proud to be supporting one of their biggest fundraising events.”
 
Naomi Cole, Fundraising Assistant for FORCE Cancer Charity, comments:

“We are really pleased Gilbert Stephens is supporting this event as this is the first time The Great Devon Breakfast has attracted a corporate sponsor. In addition to this event, we are again looking for lots of people to host breakfast events for us in 2013 - either at home, at school, the staff room, in an office, a village hall, local coffee shop, pub or restaurant - all we ask is that you host a fundraising breakfast or brunch.

“It could be coffee and croissants, bacon sandwiches, smoked salmon and champers or the full English, it is at the discretion of the organiser to select the best kind of breakfast event for their friends or colleagues. The event has been so successful in the past as people only need to invite a few friends to your home or work and hey presto, the event is taking shape!”
