eSpares Celebrates Cash For Kids Superhero Day!
May 4, 2018 | eSpares Updates | No comments
We dug out our finest masks and capes, put our baking skills to the test and filled our faces with cake, all to raise money for Free Radio Cash for Kids Superhero Day! The Free Radio Breakfast Team even came along to join in the fun and help us raise over £1600 for some truly worthy causes.
Who Our Donation is Helping
Cash for Kids
Cash for Kids makes a real difference to the lives of children across the West Midlands.
Everything raised in our area stays in our area, with a focus on alleviating poverty, supporting disability and improving quality of life.
Cash for Kids
Cash for Kids is teaming up with Acorns Children’s Hospice and donating half of the money raised on Superhero Day to them.
Acorns Children’s Hospice
Acorns provide care, support, fun, and laughter to children with life-limiting or life-threatening conditions and their families.
We provide tailored nursing care for each child including short breaks, emergency and end of life care at each of our three hospices.

The Fun we had Raising it
We put Free Radio to the test!
We turned the tables on our Free Radio guests (Tim Warwood, Lauren Crace and Lovdev Barpaga) and quizzed them to raise extra money for charity. The more correct answers the bigger our donation. They smashed it and got so many questions right that they raised £1200!
Of course, we didn’t miss the chance for a selfie…
Superhero Dress Up
We pulled out all the stops, dressed up as our favourite superheroes and each donated £1 to charity!

Tastiest Cake
The winner of the tastiest cake, voted by our sweet-toothed judges goes to Peter Carman for his Marvel Cake.
He shared his secret recipes…
In the buttercream icing I used Madagascan vanilla essence and a cherry and berry jam for the filling! It feels really great to win after 5 hours of baking!
Best Design
Winner of the most creative design voted for by you, our customers, goes to Jayne Roberts.
Here’s what she had to say…
I feel great! I’m so excited and my daughter is going to be so excited when I get home – it was her idea! We’re really glad it’s helped the charity too.
We would like to thank the team for joining in and donating to this extremely worthy cause! Whether you dressed up, baked a cake or donated cash, you’ve helped improve the lives of local children and young people.
