Signify in Go-Kart Charity Drive
26 February 2009
Signify staff along with over 50 other people and a team from Silverstone Race Circuit turned out in driving force at the recent Friends of Addenbrooke’s Annual Kart challenge at Caxton Karting to help raise money for Addenbrooke’s Charitable Trust.
Competition on the track was fierce as teams from other Cambridgeshire organisations such as Price Bailey, Green Heat, Arthur D Little and Cambridge Investments fought for top position during the evening’s two hour endurance race.
Several karts were flagged into the 'sin bin' to cool down for a few minutes when they broke the strict safety rules – which incurred additional donations of £1 per ‘sin’! All of which of course went to charity.
The team from Silverstone quickly took the lead, setting an all time fastest lap for the Caxton circuit in process, but it was Signify who finished in overall first place and taking away the trophy on the night.
"We had a fantastic time at the go-karting challenge. The event itself was well run and the racing was both competitive and fun. It was great to win the trophy and at the same time to help raise money for a very worthwhile charity." said Dave Abraham, CEO, Signify.
