The Children’s Liver Disease Foundation (CLDF) has raised a record £83,888 this 
year through its Big Yellow Friday, its national awareness and fundraising day.

Its target had been £70,000, which had been the previous highest total achieved 
back in 2008 when the event was first held.

The event took place on 7 March and involved people at schools, businesses, community
groups and elsewhere wearing yellow, eating yellow and taking part in yellow-themed
activities. The charity relies community fundraising for the majority of its income,
according to [CLDF](http://childliverdisease.org) Chief Executive Alison Taylor.

Over 200 events took place as part of the campaign. These included a sponsored cycle
ride from Norwich FC to Torquay FC – both clubs play in yellow.

Taylor commented:

> “From a simple cake sale or coffee morning to a comedy night, casino night and
> a ‘zumbathon’, people of all ages have used their skills, imagination and energy
> to join in with Big Yellow Friday 2014 and we are thrilled with this result.”
