Brightbulb’s Mince Pie Marathon Returns To Raise Funds For Wight Brainy Bunch

Island web and design studio, Brightbulb Design, has today launched the return of the Mince Pie Marathon.

The festive event, now in its fourth year, helps raise money for local charity, The Wight Brainy Bunch.

Over the past three years that the event has been held, it has helped to raise almost £20,000 towards helping those families on the Island suffering with brain tumours.

Brightbulb Managing Director, Matt Jeffery, commented:

“Last year we were in the middle of moving to new premises which made it impossible to hold the event at the same time.

"Now we are settled in and able to hold the event once again to raise much-needed funds for the Wight Brainy Bunch charity.

"This year we hope businesses and members of the public will join us in making it the biggest Mince Pie Extravaganza to date.”

This year, Isle of Wight Tomatoes will join forces with the Brightbulb team as the main sponsor of the event.

Taking on the challenge of delivering thousands of mince pies rather than tomatoes to residents across the Island.

Isle of Wight Tomatoes Managing Director, Paul Thomas, added:

“We have been proud entrants in the Mince Pie Marathon since its inception and last year we helped to make a few deliveries to the mainland in our Isle of Wight Tomatoes vans.

"This year we thought we would go one better and sponsor the event as a whole and are looking forward to raising funds for the Wight Brainy Bunch, which does some incredible work for families across the Island.

The Island has such a supportive community for events like this and we know they will be pleased to see its return.”

Businesses and members of the public can take part.

All you need to do is purchase some mince pies online and choose how many boxes of mince pies you want delivered and the team will take care of the rest.

The day of the Mince Pie delivery will be December 13 and you can opt just to donate without receiving mince pies if you wish.

Each mince pie costs £1 sold in boxes of 6 and every penny is donated to The Wight Brainy Bunch charity.

Whoever purchases the most will top the leader board and receive this year's Mince Pie Marathon title!
