Cisco Systems supports Comic Relief online with Bmycharity
Howard Lake | 2 March 2005 | News
International network company Cisco Systems is involving its employees, clients and suppliers in fundraising for Comic Relief’s Red Nose Day 2005 using the online fundraising services of Bmycharity.
Cisco’s staff and commercial contacts are raising funds for Comic Relief with Bmycharity’s online fundraising tools, including personal websites, fundraising league tables, company matched funding and a range of events including their very own “X-Factor” competition.
Peter Nicholls, Director of Technical Operations for Cisco says: “Bmycharity’s unique group fundraising tools help us involve all of our employees in our staff fundraising activities. We needed a solution which allowed UK Gift Aid to further boost donations but also opened up the online fundraising tool to our partners outside of the company intranet. The interactive Bmycharity tools also allow everyone to track how much money we’ve raised as a company through interactive league tables.”

Ben Brabyn, Managing Director of Bmycharity said: “Our online fundraising services can give charities unrivalled opportunities to develop corporate partnerships and reach out through the internet to new supporters and audiences.”
