Auditel, the UK cost and purchase management franchise, raised over £2,000 for The Prostate Cancer Charity at their recent Annual National Conference. Auditel Conference raises £2,000 for The Prostate Cancer Charity

The money was raised by a Charity Raffle and Auction following a packed day of workshops and presentations for Auditel franchisees.

The Conference aims to offer franchisees networking opportunities, workshops and presentations which will help them grow their businesses. This year's event was no different. It included an introduction to new markets in energy and communications, a presentation on Carbon Reduction Commitment by DEFRA, and an inspirational presentation by Mike Southon, sales guru and author of the Beermat Entrepreneur.

Following these events and the keynote speech and gala dinner, it was time for the Charity Raffle and Auction. Prizes donated by supplier sponsors ranged from a digital camera, to a mobile phone, to a day's sailing. Shell LPG donated the auction lot of two 3-day tickets in the Luffield Grandstand for the 2008 British Grand Prix.

The inspiration behind the fundraising was Tim Rix, a popular and highly esteemed member of the Auditel network who died of prostate cancer last year. It seemed fitting to choose The Prostate Cancer Charity for Tim, and also to recognise their valuable work in raising awareness of prostate cancer, funding research and supporting those with the disease.

The raffle raised £1,020, and the winning bid of £1,000 for the Grand Prix Tickets bought the grand total to £2,020. The contribution will assist The Prostate Cancer Charity to fund research into prostate cancer. It will also help to make a difference to men and their families affected by the disease.

Dougal Hawes, Corporate Partnership's Executive at The Prostate Cancer Charity, said: "We are extremely grateful to Auditel for their generous support. Each year in the UK, 10,000 men die from prostate cancer - that's one man every hour. Their donation is a wonderful way for Auditel to not only show their support to the many thousands of men who are already diagnosed with prostate cancer, but also to help raise awareness of the disease."
