Dundee LibDems back "Wrong Trousers Day"
Dundee City Council's Liberal Democrat Depute Economic Development Convener, Cllr Helen Dick, today (Sunday 24th June) gave her backing to "Wrong Trousers Day" (WTD) 2007, taking place this Friday (29th June).
Wrong Trousers Day is being held on 29th June and has a sports theme - Get your Kit on. Participants pay £1 for the 'right to look wrong'.
Helen said today, "On Friday 29th June people in Dundee can help Wallace and Gromit's Children's Foundation to reach their target of 1 million participants by 'Getting their kit on' to raise money and help improve the quality of life for children in hospitals and hospices all around the UK."
The campaign, organised by Wallace & Gromit's Children's Foundation and supported by sanofi-aventis, is also on the look-out for the team sporting the 'wrongest legwear.' Anyone has the chance of going up against wrong trousered celebrities in an online public vote for the dubious honour of the Wrongest Wrong Trousers in the UK.
Helen is calling on Dundonians to take part in the event by visiting www.wrongtrousersday.org and registering for a free Wrong Trousers Day fundraising pack.
Nicola Masters, director of Wallace and Gromit's Children's Foundation, said, "A million wrong trousers means £1 million for sick children in the UK. Team up today and get your kit on this Wrong Trousers Day on 29 June, and help us reach the magic million for the kids who need it most.
"Register online today and your £1 will contribute to a better tomorrow for the children we support."
