We’re thrilled to announce a special fundraising initiative for The Sparkle Foundation, a cause close to our hearts! To make things exciting, three members of our Executive Team, David Baldwin, Stuart Millman, Ian Wallace and Martin Filkins, have bravely volunteered to face a series of challenges – and the stakes will keep rising as we approach our goal!

• Here’s how it works:
• • Fundraising Goal: We’re aiming to raise 10,000 AED for each exec participant. That’s 40,000 AED in total – and every dirham counts! Write you vote in the comments - if there is no vote, it will be shared among the four execs!
• • Rising to the Challenge: The more we raise, the tougher the challenges will get. Our exec team is ready to go the extra mile to make a difference!
• • Your Chance to Participate: Once we reach our goal, we'll invite the community to purchase raffle tickets. Lucky winners will have the chance to attend and even join in on the challenges, putting our exec team to the ultimate test!
• 
  
• How you can help:
• • Donate and Motivate: Every contribution, big or small, helps us reach our target and adds an extra twist to the challenges! 
• • Share the Word: Spread the message to friends, family, and anyone who might want to support The Sparkle Foundation.
• • Get Your Raffle Ticket: After hitting our target, you can buy a ticket for a chance to attend and be part of the action.
• 
  
• With your support, we can make a real impact together. Get ready to cheer on our execs as they take on each challenge – and maybe even join in!
• Let’s make this unforgettable. Together, we can spark change!
