Blackpool Tower goes green
The world famous Blackpool Tower lit up green for Macmillan at 19:30 on Thursday 29 September, the eve of our flagship fundraiser, World’s Biggest Coffee Morning, taking place today.
With 45,000+ coffee morning events taking place across the UK, Macmillan hopes that its 21st World’s Biggest Coffee Morning will raise a staggering £9 million to help people affected by cancer.
Hundreds of businesses, groups, schools and individuals in and around the Blackpool area have already signed up to host a coffee morning themselves, and with Blackpool Tower going green, more people across the region will be spurred on to get involved and give their support to Macmillan’s World’s Biggest Coffee Morning.
Kate Shane, General Manager of the Blackpool Tower, said:
‘We are lucky to have a world famous landmark here in Blackpool, so we hope that by turning the top of Blackpool Tower green for the World’s Biggest Coffee Morning, we can help make it the biggest ever for Macmillan Cancer Support, in Blackpool, across Lancashire and throughout the UK.’
Fiona Dundas, Macmillan Fundraising Manager, said:
‘We really hope that with the support of Blackpool Tower we are able to reach our target of £9 million throughout the country for World’s Biggest Coffee Morning. It’s such an iconic landmark and it’s great that Coffee Morning has been recognized as an iconic event.’
