World Record Attempt in aid of The Simon Community is taking place in Hannover Quay, Spencer Dock, Dublin 2 on December 2nd at 12pm. The record attempt is an effort by Carphone Warehouse to raise money for The Simon Community.
This year, we are donating all profits from our annual in-store gift wrap to the charity. That means a 50c donation for each and every gift that's wrapped. We will further donate €1 for every new fan on our Facebook page until they hit 22,000. Carphone Warehouse hopes to raise over €10,000 for Dublin Simon Community this Christmas.
To bolster this generous Christmas campaign, Carphone Warehouse is also hoping to break the current world record for the highest number of Christmas crackers pulled simultaneously.
The record currently stands at 1.570 and we are aiming to top that by achieving 1.600 cracker pulls at once. If the record is broken, The Carphone Warehouse will donate a generous further amount to the Simon Community.
