TMW scoops TWO awards!
Too Many Women & Breakthrough Breast Cancer walked away clear winners at Monday night’s Institute of Fundraising National Awards, winning both of the awards that Too Many Women was shortlisted for!
The charity picked up the award for Most Innovative Fundraising Campaign for Too Many Women with Harry Becher and Catriona Blampied, the campaign’s founders, scooping the prestigious Volunteer Fundraiser of the Year award
Harry comments:
“Catriona and I would like to say a huge thank you for this award. We set up Too Many Women after both our mothers were diagnosed with breast cancer and my mother sadly lost her battle with the disease.
We’ve since built up an incredible network of passionate and determined fundraisers all focused on making this initiative work. We believe that by supporting Breakthrough’s research we can make a difference to the thousands of women diagnosed with breast cancer. It’s a fitting tribute to Mum that we won the awards on what would have been her 62nd birthday.”
Catriona added:
“It’s a huge honour to win these prestigious awards. It’s one thing to come up with an idea, but it’s another thing to have the right people believe in you and back you all the way, which is where Breakthrough deserve all the recognition. Thank you to all of them and thank you, especially, to both of our wonderful mothers whose bravery continues to inspire us.”
Kath Abrahams, Director of Fundraising for Breakthrough Breast Cancer, continued:
“We’re absolutely thrilled with last night’s result and the recognition for the phenomenal teams behind Too Many Women; a hugely successful campaign which we’re very proud of. The incredible success of Too Many Women means they are on target to raise £1million for Breakthrough – all credit must go to Harry and Catriona for this astonishing achievement.
It’s thanks to the on-going dedication and commitment of our supporters who get behind these campaigns that we’re able to continue our life-saving work towards achieving a future free from the fear of breast cancer.”
