HA Week
Between the 18th and 24th May 2009 the industry’s pant-wearing action heroes were
out in force and raised a staggering £100,000 in the process!
With over 50 companies signed up in our first ever fundraising week, the array of
activities were vast and often ingeniously innovative! There were marshmallow eating
competitions, dress-down days, raffles, cake sales, football matches, doughnut eating
competitions, ice cream sales, sponsored trim trails and even a sponsored team
meeting held at the top of Scaffell Pike.

Here’s what last year’s participants had to say…
3663 First for Foodservice
“We held a sponsored team meeting at the top of Scafell Pike
– it’s not quite Kilimanjaro, but was a challenging climb of nearly
1000m. The whole meeting was conducted with pants over
trousers of course and raised a large proportion of the £10,000
target set for our National Accounts team”.
Andrew Clarke, 3663 First for Foodservice
Royal Garden Hotel
“We had great fun with our various fundraising activities from
a marshmallow eating competition, to a raffle to win theatre
tickets, not to mention our photo competition. We’re great
supporters of HA; they’ve always been very supportive of our
employees, both past and present”.
Susie Wadsworth, Royal Garden Hotel
HMS Nelson, Aramark
“Various members of the team dressed up as superheroes,
collecting money in shaky tins. We also held a couple of raffles
and had great fun in the process. We’re looking forward to next
year already”.
Stephen Travis, Aramark
