HOSPICE staff have developed yellow fever as part of their latest promotion.
Four hospices - St Teresa's, in Darlington; Hartlepool and District Hospice, Teesside; St Catherine's Hospice, Scarborough, North Yorkshire; and Teesside Hospice have teamed up to launch the 2001 Go Yellow campaign.
Designed to emphasise the fun aspect of fundraising, it will run throughout June.
Each hospice is planning a range of events, including a Wear Yellow Day. People are being asked to contact them to find out how to join in the events.
Yesterday, the four hospice directors donned yellow wigs and t-shirts and lit yellow touch-paper to publicise the event.
The yellow theme was further emphasised by a 12ft sunflower, which is the emblem of the National Hospice Movement.
As part of the campaign, hospices nationwide will sell sunflower emblems, to raise funds.
For more information, contact any of the hospices.
