Kia nose best

Kia Motors has become a supporting partner of Red Nose Day 2009 and has even introduced a limited edition Picanto ‘Red’ to mark the occasion and help raise as much money as possible for Comic Relief.

The limited edition Picanto ‘Red’ is on sale now and, for every model sold between now and Red Nose Day on Friday March 13, Kia will donate £100 to Comic Relief - enough to send two Zambian children to school for a whole year.

Joining the ranks of other big Red Nose Day partners, Kia aims to get all its customers and employees involved to raise as much money as possible this Red Nose Day, March 13.

Kia is encouraging each and every customer to ‘show us their nose’ by asking customers to buy a Car Nose from their local Sainsbury’s or at rednoseday.com. All they have to do then is pop it on their Kia and upload their picture of their car wearing it to Kia’s special website dedicated to Red Nose Day – kia.co.uk/rednoseday. And if they register their details on the site they can enter a prize draw to win a limited edition Picanto Red made especially to celebrate Red Nose Day.

In addition, Kia dealerships up and down the country will be introducing all sorts of activities from comedy nights, family fun days and sponsored car washes – and anything else to ‘Do Something Funny For Money’!

Speaking from his bath of baked beans, Paul Philpott, Managing Director of Kia Motors (UK) Limited said; “We are exceptionally proud to be involved with the great work of Comic Relief and it gives us the opportunity to give something back. We aim to get all our employees, dealers and customers involved to raise as much money as we can. As always, we’ve set ourselves an ambitious goal but I’m confident we can achieve our fundraising target of raising a minimum of £100,000.”

In 2007 Red Nose Day raised nearly £68 million – their best year yet. To beat that record and get involved in 2009 visit rednoseday.com.
