Day 220



As you know, my THREEHUNDREDANDSIXTEEFIVE challenge has an undercurrent of charity flowing through it - from the charitable donations of T-shirts I receive weekly from designers and retailers, to the hefty donation to charity I'll be making come January 2014.
To ramp up the charity factor further, Day 220's T-shirt is a special donation supporting Rosie's Rainbow Fund, courtesy of Dennis Publishing's Corporate Social Responsibility department.

I'm standing at the heart of the Rosie's Rainbow Fund charity fun day here at Dennis HQ, where among other things, a man has been asleep. He has been sleeping at the office all night as a precautionary measure to ensure the slow-cooked pulled-pork that's been on the BBQ since yesterday afternoon didn't burn the place down. I'm happy to report that his mission was a success.

A little later today, employees across Dennis will congregate here in the sunshine to partake in various activities to raise money for the charity, including guessing the balloon capacity of a Camper Van, gorging out in the spicy-chicken eating contest and sponge bathing board members. Sorry, throwing wet sponges at board members.
I will be doing my part in spreading the organisation's brand awareness by wearing this T-shirt which features a large central print on the back of the Rosie Rainbow Fund logo - a quaint, brightly coloured illustration penned by a youngster.

Also on this tee is the Dennis CSR logo; a design I completed for the company earlier in the year.

Best of luck to everyone today and thanks to both Dennis Publishing and Rosie's Rainbow Fund for the T-shirt!
