What do cake, dressing up, pink and green hair dye and doughnuts all have in common?
These are all the elements that Freebook Global Technologies bought together to raise money for our 'Children in Need' fun day at our Springfield Missouri HQ.

While some staff opted for face glitter and bright colours, the directors, Luke, Marc, Mike and James took fundraising to the next level with hair dyeing, face painting and unusual attire! A line-up of the Freebook Global Technologies team eagerly awaited Marc’s arrival.

We'd also like to say a huge thank you to everyone who has kindly donated. So far we have raised...

Many doughnuts were consumed in the making of this video!
