The online auction staged to raise cash for Save The
Children raised more than £25,000. The auction was
organised by Meetings & Incentive Travel magazine via this web site www.meetpie.com.
The cash goes towards the target of £50,000 to refurbish and
equip two maternity facilities in Mozambique. It is hoped the surplus will come from an on the night raffle at the Meetings &
Incentive Travel Industry Awards Dinner on Monday evening at London’s Westminster Park Plaza Hotel. In total the auction attracted more than 1567 bids for 86
lots.
M&IT’s managing editor Martin Lewis said: “This is a
fantastic result that puts us on our way to the overall target. I would like to
thank all those who donated auction lots and all those who participated in the
bidding process.”
