Leeds United partner raises £10,000 for Teenage Cancer Trust through limited-edition charity toothpaste
ZING, a partner of Leeds United, today announced that it has successfully raised £10,000 for Teenage Cancer Trust through the sale of its limited-edition ZING x Teenage Cancer Trust toothpaste, a first-of-its-kind collaboration within the oral care industry.
The special edition tube transformed a daily routine into an accessible and meaningful charity initiative, with proceeds helping to directly fund vital services for young people facing cancer. The initiative reflects ZING’s broader mission to ‘Do What Makes You Smile, by bringing positivity to everyday life while supporting causes that make a real difference.
Jacques Cockell, Founder and CEO of ZING, said: “I’m unbelievably proud of this achievement. As a toothpaste company, we exist to make people smile, and we’ve managed to turn something most people view as a chore - brushing teeth - into something fun that can raise an incredible amount of money for a truly amazing cause.
I couldn’t be more grateful to everyone who bought one of our now iconic limited-edition Teenage Cancer Trust tubes and helped us reach this goal. As many of our customers know, I lost a childhood friend to leukaemia in his early twenties, so this has always felt personal. The money raised directly helps fund life-saving support for young people in the biggest battle of their lives so far. Thank you.”
The money raised will support Teenage Cancer Trust to fund specialist nurses, youth workers and hospital wards within the NHS, so young people with cancer get the sensitive, individual care and support they need at this unique and critical life stage.
Judith Anderson, Senior Partnership Manager at Teenage Cancer Trust, said: “Many congratulations and huge thanks to all at ZING.
"Every few hours, a young person in the UK hears the words ‘you have cancer’. Partnerships like these ensure Teenage Cancer Trust can support them to get through cancer, rebuild their life and shape their own future.”
