A Very Merry and Pure Christmas
4 Nov 2008 - - International
CNCF is very excited to announce an affiliation with Pure, a high quality cashmere retailer that sources its finest cashmere from Mongolia. Pure’s deep links with the region made CNCF a natural choice for its charitable efforts. For every item sold from their range of Cashmere cable accessories, Pure will donate GBP 10 to CNCF. This money will be used to support the Blue Skies Ger Village Project. In the words of Nick Falkingham from Pure, "CNCF does some terrific work to give under-privileged children a better start in life than they would otherwise have."
