Skincare brand, Dr. PawPaw, has donated £50,000 to its official 2020 / 2021 charity partner, Teenage Cancer Trust.
The donation follows the brand's first ever collaborative product in November 2020, the
Dr. PawPaw X Teenage Cancer Trust Shimmer Balm, with 15 pence from each sale going to Teenage Cancer Trust. In addition, a percentage of Dr. PawPaw's annual sales has also been donated to help support the incredible work the charity delivers.
In October 2021, Johnny Paterson, co-founder at Dr. PawPaw further supported the partnership by running the Virgin Money London Marathon raising £6,103.31, on top of the company's £50,000 donation.
The Dr. PawPaw X Teenage Cancer Trust Shimmer Balm packaging features the moving stories of four young people helped by Teenage Cancer Trust, highlighting the support of the charity's nurses, youth support teams and special hospital wards that help ensure no young person goes through cancer alone. From this month, these stories will be replaced with four new stories from young people helped by the charity.
In addition to supporting the charity financially, Dr. PawPaw founders Johnny and Pauline Paterson also participate in internal workshops and events, providing business advice for young people who have faced setbacks due to their struggle with cancer.
Commenting on
Dr. PawPaw's support, Stefanie Allen, Partnership Manager at
Teenage Cancer Trust, says:
“A massive thank you to Dr. PawPaw for the incredible amount they've raised since joining us as a charity partner last year. They have been fantastic, supporting Teenage Cancer Trust in so many ways. From the sale of products, raising sponsorship and supporting with various internal projects to support young people with cancer, they really have gone above and beyond. I think I speak on behalf of everyone when I say that we are absolutely thrilled that Teenage Cancer Trust will continue to be Dr. PawPaw's charity partner through the sale of the award winning, Dr. PawPaw Shimmer Balm.”
