WORLD RECORD ATTEMPT for PINCHAPOO
Pinchapoo (slang for Pinch-a-shampoo) is proudly responsible for creating a cheeky hotel toiletry ‘pinching’ movement 12 years ago… and for good reason! Using this world first, modern day Robin Hood concept together with landfill stock rescue programs, Pinchapoo has redistributed more than 8.5 MILLION personal hygiene products to hundreds of thousands of disadvantaged men, women and children nationally each year. Pinchapoo is the biggest national not-for-profit supplier of personal hygiene essentials and works with over 700 + leading organisations, community groups and government institutions as a total hygiene solution, providing a reliable source of customised, culturally appropriate and gender inclusive packs to EVERYBODY in EVERY situation of need.
Rotary 9800 sent in a team of 15 people from various clubs to attempt the mighty Guiness Book of Records packing event. Together we aimed to break the record for the biggest word made out of tables (#HYGIENEPOVERTY) and the most amount of hygiene packs packed in one hour! That’s a whopping 501 tables and 5411 packs! It was buzzing with excitement as everybody got to work in teams to pack, pack, pack. And the winners were…the recipients of the packs.
It was a fun, team effort at the Caulfield Racecourse and wonderful be part of a couple of hundred people who showed up to help others.
