HiQ Franchisees Raise £4000 for Breast Cancer Care

A pair of HiQ franchisees, who got in the pink for Breast Cancer Care, raised £1,500 for the charity at Snetterton racing circuit. Phil Cowell and Robert Brown were on hand for the latest round of British Touring Car Championship action on August 2 and spent the day raising funds for the charity. The pair, who own six HiQ centres in the east of England under their P & R Tyres Ltd company, gave away specially made pink baseball caps in return for charitable donations and carried buckets at the track for the thousands of motorsport fans to give to.

They already agreed to donate £2,500 direct to Breast Cancer Care in return for a day at the British Touring Car Championship in the first place, and are now looking forward to getting back to work at their Bury St. Edmunds headquarters and reflecting on a job well done. Phil Cowell said: “Breast Cancer Care is HiQ’s official charity for the year, so we were thrilled to be able to give an initial £2,500 in return for a day of racing at Snetterton. But while we were there, we were also able to collect an additional £1,500 for the charity through cap sales and donations, and we thank everyone at the event for being so generous.”
