Trekstock, the charity that supports young adults living with cancer, is offering a once-in-a-lifetime prize for fans of pop punk band 5 Seconds of Summer.
As part of its 2015 Christmas campaign, #Trekstocking, the charity has launched an online prize draw to give members of the 5SOS Family a chance to meet their singing heroes for just £5.
Through a collaboration with Givergy Access – the newest platform from award-winning fundraising technology company Givergy – tickets for #Trekstocking can be bought online until Friday 18th December.
By purchasing a £5 ticket, entrants will have the opportunity to win big this Christmas. The priceless 5SOS prize will send a fan and three of their friends to meet and chill out backstage with the band, at a 2016 world tour date of their choice.
5SOS said: “You’ll attend the VIP soundcheck and after we’ll hang out and present you with a signed disc too.”
Other prizes in the #Trekstocking draw, come from Hozier, One Direction hairstylist, Lou Teasdale, and blogging sensations Zoella and Alfie.
100 per cent of proceeds from #Trekstocking will help support young adults living with cancer in 2016 and ensure they don’t have to face cancer alone.
“We’re delighted to have partnered with Trekstock for this exciting Christmas campaign. We’re certain the #Trekstocking prizes will prove to be extremely popular with a diverse audience, from teenage YouTube fans and fashionistas, to music lovers and foodies alike,” said Givergy’s Director of Business Development, Jon Douglas.
