Rolawn Gets Behind Garden ReLeaf
Rolawn gave its full support to the gardening industries’ first Garden Re-Leaf charity event and raised £1,324.88 for the Greenfingers charity.
The money was raised through various sponsored fundraising activities plus a contribution from all Rolawndirect.co.uk on-line sales, where consumers also benefited on the day from a discounted price.
Boyd Douglas-Davies, instigator of the Garden Re-Leaf concept, said: “I am grateful to all at Rolawn for their efforts in raising not only funds but also the profile of the charity. I hope this is just the start and we can look to build on this in 2013.”
All proceeds from Garden Re-Leaf are going to Greenfingers and anyone can still contribute via the Rolawn Justgiving web page or call 0845 604 6050.
