Guinness
World Record attempt | 13 December 2013
World renowned choreographer Arlene
Philips is adding even more excitement to Christmas Jumper Day by leading
Save the Children’s attempt to break the Guinness World Record for the most
people wearing Christmas jumpers in one space.
Arlene will be providing a twist
to the record breaking attempt by choreographing a Christmas Jumper Day dance
routine to Kelly Clarkson’s brand new track
‘Underneath The Tree’ (the first song from Grammy Award winner Kelly Clarkson’s Christmas album
‘Wrapped In Red’) and leading participants in
the dance on the day.
Help Save the Children to make
history by donning your Christmas jumper and joining them at Westfield London
on Friday 13th December – sign up to take part at www.christmasjumperday.org/worldrecord and don’t
forget to donate your £1 to Save the Children at www.christmasjumperday.org. Only pre-registered participants will be
given access to the area on the day. Once registered you will receive a
confirmation email with all the necessary details required to take part on the
day.
All money raised from Christmas
Jumper Day activities will help save the lives of the world’s most vulnerable
children. In the world's poorest countries, more than 7 million children die
every year from easily preventable causes like diarrhoea
and malnutrition. Simple solutions, like vaccines and mosquito nets save
lives – so by getting friends and colleagues to take part in Save the
Children’s Christmas Jumper day on Friday 13th December and donating
£1, you can help make a real difference.
