Over £5.5k raised for Kent Air Ambulance !

2011 saw Blue Pelican support Kent Air Ambulance as their charity of choice. Over the course of the year each consultant has taken it upon themselves to do something good, giving up time, money, sweat and tears in order to raise as much money as possible for this worthy cause. Sometimes we’ve given until it’s hurt, literally.

Consultants have:

• Taken part in a 10k race
• Cycled 100k (and even got lost on the route, so it was more like 110k in the end)
• Arranged raffles for our entire building
• Eaten cake, and lots of it…. Some of us had too much
• Grown moustaches (tied in with Movember)… just the men that one, the ladies refused to partake !
• We’ve had an Xbox 360 setup where consultants can pay to play during breaks
• Had a pay-to-play jukebox (well, MP3 player and consultants can pay to play their favourite tunes)
• Took part in a Dragon Boat race at Bewl Water – most of us horrendously hung-over from festivities the night before

Even though Pelicans are supposed to be able to fly, one of us even jumped out of a perfectly good plane, all in aid of charity

2012 will see us getting behind a new cause so we can continue contributing to our community.
