Spirit Pub Company has announced it is to support Prostate Cancer UK’s Men United campaign this summer.
The company, which has raised over £145,000 in the last four years through fundraising initiatives for the charity, has committed to support its latest campaign Men United v Prostate Cancer during the key summer months when pubs are expected to be packed with guests watching the all-important summer football games.
The partnership, which kicks off today until 31 July, aims to raise over £30,000 for Prostate Cancer UK and will see more than 750 pubs take part across Spirit’s Flaming Grill, John Barras, Taylor Walker, Fayre & Square and Chef & Brewer brands.
Mike Tye, Spirit Pub Company chief executive, said: “The pub is the perfect place to meet with friends to enjoy the “beautiful game” this summer. This gives us an ideal opportunity to help Prostate Cancer UK improve awareness among our guests and drive those all essential donations that help towards fighting the disease.
“We’re proud to continue our relationship with Prostate Cancer UK, and I’m sure, with the fantastic fundraising ideas our teams are preparing, that we’ll exceed our fundraising target!”
Prostate Cancer UK supports men with the disease, provides vital information and finds answers by funding research into causes and treatments. Their latest campaign, Men United, is a call for men to join together in a movement against the common enemy of prostate cancer.
