POKERSTARS (FLUTTER INTERNATIONAL BRAND) PARTNER WITH HOSPICE ISLE OF MAN FOR TWO YEAR COLLABORATION
Hospice Isle of Man is delighted to announce a brand new partnership with PokerStars (a Flutter International brand) for the next two years. During this time, they aim to raise enough money to cover the entire cost of two palliative care nurses at Hospice Isle of Man.
The first exciting element of the partnership is the purchase of a coffee van, ‘Care for a Drink’, which will bring delicious coffee and hand made cakes to events across the island. Both Hospice staff and Flutter staff will be the volunteers operating the van, so every penny of profit goes directly towards Flutter’s fundraising target.
John Knight, Chief Executive of Hospice Isle of Man said, “We are truly appreciative of collaborations with businesses such as Flutter International, as they enable us to continue to deliver our services to the local community free of charge to patients and their loved ones, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year. This is the first time we have explored a mutually-beneficial partnership with Flutter International, with an emphasis on consistency and long-term sustainability for Hospice, and we look forward to seeing how it goes over the next two years.”
Sue Hammett, International Head of CSR for Flutter International said, ‘’ We are delighted to be working with Hospice Isle of Man for the next two years, the Hospice does incredible work on the Island and our staff are proud that we can offer our support. However the partnership is more than just providing funding, it’s a real collaboration which will provide a sustainable income, employee volunteering opportunities and fundraising events throughout the next two years’
The partnership will then go on to deliver a corporate donation of £50,000 to Hospice over the next 2 years, in addition to the sponsorship of a fantastic brand new Hospice event, recreating the famous challenge of BBC’s It’s A Knockout, on Saturday 27th July 2024.
The ‘Big Corporate Challenge for Hospice’, is a jam packed day full of exciting team building games, such as I’m A Celebrity, Beat the Cube, Teletubby Challenge, Ultimate Relay, Rise to the Challenge, Cannon Run and The Foam Pit. This event, the likes of which hasn’t been seen on Island in many years, gives companies the chance to enter a team of up to 10 people with the aim of team building, or just a social event outside of the office.
Teams will be limited, so sign up now at www.hospice.org.im/bigchallenge or for more information
