Maggie’s Aberdeen is launching the third annual Kitchen Table Day – a fundraising campaign that invites everyone to gather around a table to raise money for the charity.
Taking place on April 27, Maggie’s Kitchen Table Day will see friends, families and colleagues come together around a kitchen table in imaginative and thoughtful ways to raise vital funds for the cancer support charity.
The kitchen table is at the heart of Maggie’s Aberdeen as a place where people gather to talk and share their experiences. This campaign aims to celebrate this togetherness by inviting people to participate in their own creative and original activity around a kitchen table.
Commenting on this year’s launch, Paula Cormack, centre fundraising manager for Maggie’s Aberdeen said: “We are thrilled to be launching one of our most exciting and interactive campaigns of the year. The creativity we’ve heard about over the last few years, everything from superhero themed suppers to board game nights, has been fantastic and we are really looking forward to seeing what all the fundraisers who take part this year come up with!
“Maggie’s Aberdeen relies entirely on voluntary donations to allow us to keep on developing and delivering our unique programme of support for people affected by cancer.”
Since the first Kitchen Table Day in 2016, there has been over £12,000 raised from fundraisers efforts, with activities as varied as bake sales, concocting cocktails or holding a book club. No matter what you choose to do, it can happen around a kitchen table!
If April 27 doesn’t suit, you can hold your own Kitchen Table Day whenever is best for you. Every penny raised by Maggie’s Kitchen Table Day activities will go to providing essential support to those dealing with a cancer diagnosis in Aberdeen city and shire, as well as their family and friends.
