Appco Group to Fundraise for American Cancer Society!

Appco Group US country heads have signed up alongside their bravest fundraisers, to abseil down a 32-storey high building in New York city to raise money for the American Cancer Society (ACS).

Appco Group US Chief Operating Officer Sarah Cauchi, Vice President Michael Scully and Country Head Will Lyon will climb down Pennsylvania Plaza for the ACS on Saturday, June 23, 2012.

‘This will be a great opportunity for the team at Appco to show our support for what is such a worthwhile cause and one that affects so many lives today,” said Sarah Cauchi. “Cancer can affect everyone, not only the sufferers but also their family and friends – they are the people who we are going over the edge for.”

Mr Scully said fundraising and supporting various projects around the world has always been close to Appco's heart.

“In the US we have been working closely with a number of great organisations and that list is growing month by month and as a company we felt that we wanted to show our support not just by running great fundraising campaigns but also by getting involved in sponsored activities,” he said.

“Over the years I have raised money for the WWF and Quarriers by climbing mountains in the Himalayas, so the thought of spending time coming down the side of a building versus climbing up a mountain was very appealing - much less training involved.”

Appco Group to expand into Connecticut

Appco Group US is all set to enter its next state with charity partners ChildFund International. Driven by the campaign success, the charity group has agreed to be the first to test the state of Connecticut.

Appco Group US began operations in 2010 in Manhattan, New York, and opened their second office in White Plains, New York state, recently - just one year after its launch in America.

Since its launch, Appco Group US has been laying the foundations for a national expansion across a number of the traditional Appco industry sectors.

Will Lyon, US County Head, said: “We've been eyeing up Connecticut for a while now and we are finally at the stage where we can expand our territory with confidence and really make a difference to the ChildFund campaign.

“We are starting with our White Plains team with plans to expand this to the Manhattan office team in the near future. We are growing fast and strong and there is much more in the pipeline a sign that the US really is the land of opportunity.”
