Technology company Siemens are aiming to raise £35,000 for breast cancer charity,
The Genesis Appeal, over the next two years.
During 2006 Siemens raised over £12,000
for the Breast Cancer Prevention Centre in Whythenshawe Hospital, Manchester, with
initiatives such as the BUPA Great Manchester Run, in which over 60 employees took
part.

The latest fundraising activity has involved staff and site visitors at the Siemens
offices in Manchester sponsoring for £1 each light bulbs on a 25ft Christmas tree,
lit pink, in front of the company offices.

Ian Bowman, Marketing Manager for Siemens Automation and Drives division said: “
We decided to support the local charity following previous fundraising work with
Breast Cancer Awareness.”
