Promega Ireland’s Post

We are sure you'll forgive the (early) Christmas-themed photo and post as it is for a very good cause! Cambridge City Foodbank’s Christmas Hamper Appeal 2024. Last year, thanks to the generosity of our member companies, individual members, and partners, Unity Campus made the largest donation of food hampers to Cambridge City Foodbank, helping them surpass their goal of 800 hampers. This year, we are showing our support again, and hope to surpass last year’s donation of 57 hampers. Here’s how you can help and some tips: 1. Pledge the number of hampers you'd like to donate (email Unity Campus Community Engagement Manager Jess: j.harvey-bowman@unitycampus.co.uk) and start a team collection throughout November. You can invite your team to contribute items using a shared Excel spreadsheet - this approach worked well for Howard Group. 2. Encourage your suppliers and network to get involved and support your donation efforts. 3. If your company has a charity budget, you may wish to donate hampers on behalf of your organisation. To donate a hamper, please fill a sturdy carrier bag with the items listed below and bring your donation on Tuesday 10th December to The Works at Unity Campus between 12:00 and 14:00, where you’ll receive a festive thank-you! We’ll ensure that all hampers are delivered to the Foodbank that same afternoon. Food Hamper Items: 1. Chocolate log or non-alcoholic Christmas cake 2. Children’s Christmas chocolate (e.g. selection box) 3. After-dinner/adult chocolate (no alcohol-filled ones) 4. Sweet fancy biscuits 5. Sharing crips 6. Cheesy/savoury biscuits 7. Nuts (shelled) 8. Dried fruit (e.g. apricots, figs) 9. Tinned ham, tuna or salmon 10. Sweet pickles, chutney or jam 11. Shower gel, hand soap,or shampoo Important notes: - No perishable items, and all products should have a use-by date of 25th December or later. - No homemade items, please. We greatly appreciate any support you can offer in helping us make a difference to those in need again this year. #Cambridge #ChristmasHamperAppeal #Foodbank

Together we can create change

Black Friday for charities: how good causes are using the day: The busiest shopping weekend of the year is here, with deals falling left, right and centre. So amongst all the consumerism, how can charities best mark Black Friday? Here's some inspiration.

Not everyone can afford a happy Christmas – for many it's often a period of stress, concern and heartbreak. That's why organisations like us step in to make sure people can have a holiday they can smile about. If you want to join us, there are 6 ways to help ❄️ (1) Donation - Donations, no matter how small, help us buy toiletries, vouchers, essentials, toys and other goodies. (2) Raffle - Each raffle ticket can get some fantastic prizes for you and helps us fund life-changing services. (3) Shop charity – Give presents that make a difference by buying from charity! Check out our @Depop, @eBay and @Vinted accounts, get your Christmas cards from us, shop using @easyfundraising, gift someone a raffle ticket, gift an animal sponsorship subscription, sign up for our lottery or simply donate in the name of your loved ones! (4) Volunteer – if you're rich in time, come help us make magic happen! We're looking for all sorts of helping hands – from wrapping presents to setting up events, everyone is welcome! (5) Declutter & Donate – You can help by donating your old festive knits, unopened presents or in-date, unopened sweets. We'll be able to redistribute these to people who need it. (6) You could like and share our Christmas appeal posts to help others learn more about our charity and how we help communities. 🎄🎁 #TogetherForChristmas

🔖 CRA Freedom Sampler Fall 2024 Heads To Stores Right on time, the latest sampler from Cigar Rights of America (CRA) is on its way to stores. The CRA Freedom Sampler Fall 2024 contains cigars from 10 different cigar companies, most of which serve on the CRA’s board. The companies donate the cigars to CRA, which are then placed into a custom Boveda bag and sold to stores. While a little money is spent for the logistics of these samplers, the vast majority of the revenue from the wholesale sales of the packs goes to the CRA’s budget, which funds the organization’s lobbying and outreach efforts.

We receive multiple calls and messages daily asking if we have any Buffalo Trace, Blanton’s, or Eagle Rare. The answer is: • Buffalo Trace? Occasionally, but not much unless someone shares a barrel they win with us. • Blanton’s and Eagle Rare? Maybe one bottle every 2–3 months, sometimes less. Here’s what we do with these type of bottles: • Put them out randomly without notice—so you may get lucky, you may not. • Put them out and make multiple social media posts letting everyone know they are “first come, first serve.” • Include them in allocated bourbon drawings to give everyone a fair shot. • Use them to raise donations for charities. Here’s what we don’t do: • We will never charge “museum prices.” • Sell above MSRP—even if you offer us extra to secure a bottle. (Yes, it happens) • Keep a list or save bottles for people. • Take bottles for ourselves. We don’t mind if you ask about these bottles—because if you don’t, the answer is already no. We are more than happy to answer any questions. To get more of these sought after bourbons we have to please allocation gods by selling as many non-allocated bottles as we can. I hear if a place sells a bunch of Wheatley Vodka they get more, not sure if that’s true but tough for us being a higher end bourbon store. Thank you for your continued support—Cheers! 🥃
