Pink Link has raised more than £92,000 in 10 years of charity fundraising and has set a target to smash the £100,000 barrier in 2011.
It will hold its bi-annual ‘Pink October Ball’ at the Cedar Court Hotel in Huddersfield this year, during National Breast Cancer Awareness month.
Pink Link has donated to several local charities over the years, including the breast cancer unit at Huddersfield Royal Infirmary, Yorkshire Air Ambulance and Macmillan Cancer Support.
Davenport says: “We feel it’s really important to give something back to our local community, as well as the bigger national charities.“ In another Pink Link initiative, Huddersfield Town Football Club recently brought out a limited edition pink and white striped shirt – as opposed to its usual blue and white strip.
Money from each sale has gone to the Huddersfield Royal Infirmary Breast Cancer Care Fund. “The shirts have proved incredibly popular with the female supporters,” Davenport says.
