Q: Can you share the magical story behind the GOSH Halloween Party?
Imagine this: what used to be The Valentines Party has now turned into an epic Halloween extravaganza! 2023 marked its second year of spooky transformations, and boy, was it a hit! With the love and support of sponsors, ticket sales, and prize donations, we managed to raise a whopping £400,000 for the Children’s Cancer Centre at GOSH.

The party was a blast, with 450 attendees, both kids and grown-ups, diving into a wicked world of Halloween adventures. There were ghostly t-shirt printing, a hair-raising haunted hallway, and even some gooey sweet and slime making! As the little ones giggled with delight, the grown-ups savored yummy treats and drinks, all while enthusiastically taking part in fundraising raffles and a silent auction. It was an absolute scream!

Q: How do you measure the awesomeness of the Event?
Well, we’re talking big numbers here! This time, the event hit a smashing record of £400,000 in 2023! Can you imagine the difference this amount will make for the children’s Cancer Centre? It’s incredible how every contribution counts in brightening the lives of these brave young warriors.
Great Ormond Street Hospital (GOSH) is at the forefront of offering hope to families battling childhood cancer. With nearly 1,800 families receiving the tough news of their child’s diagnosis each year, GOSH’s pioneering work in cancer care is nothing short of a lifeline. Even though progress has been made, there’s still work to be done, as cancer remains the leading cause of death for UK children aged one to 14. That’s why GOSH is hard at work constructing the Children’s Cancer Centre, a vital step in improving the outlook and quality of life for these courageous fighters.
Q: How did Hotline become the perfect sponsor for your promotional items?
Hotline generously provided custom-printed cotton tote bags for this year’s event, handed out to each guest upon arrival. These durable totes became the go-to for collecting an array of Halloween-themed goodies like printed t-shirts, slime, and sweets. Even beyond the event, these bags continued to weave their magic, as attendees reused them, spreading the word about the event.
Q: What was your experience with the promotional products and the ordering process?
The tote bags exceeded our expectations, boasting excellent quality and perfectly suited for the occasion. Their vibrant orange colour seamlessly matched the autumnal Halloween theme, standing out in the room while maintaining a smart and high-quality appearance. Additionally, the inclusion of our headline sponsors’ logos on the bags amplified their promotional impact.
Q: Any fun discoveries or lessons picked up after the GOSH Spooktacular Fundraising Event?
We found out that the lively orange colour of the tote bags not only caught the eyes of attendees but also added an exciting touch to the event’s vibe, making them stand out as they wandered through the crowd.
GOSH went with Hotline’s 5oz Cotton Printed Tote bags in Orange, known for their sturdiness and ample space for printing, ensuring that the brand gets maximum attention. The bold black print on the lively orange bag created a captivating effect, especially with the catchy Halloween slogan, “OH MY GOSH.” This promotional item is bound to be a treasured keepsake for many adventures to come!
