Boxman would like to thank all of the wonderful people that donated and bought items during our inaugural #Boxathon auction, held in aid of Teenage Cancer Trust. As a small (but well-formed) startup, we never imagined we’d raise the tidy pots of cash we achieved today, and we very much look forward to handing it all over to this wonderful charity.

Massive thanks go to the forever-elegant Benedict Cumberbatch, whose signed Modalu bag raised a staggering £960, followed by a stupendous £1,605 for his donated Gucci sunglasses.

We’d also like to thank the truly wonderful Joe Sugg for donating three great items – a couple of goodies from his Spongebob movie appearance (which raised £70), the signed cover from his first ever magazine appearance (£115) and a page from his upcoming graphic novel, never seen by anyone other than the author himself and his publisher (£150).

Other fantastic donators included boxing legend Barry McGuigan (his pair of signed gloves raised £110 on the day), as well as Made in Chelsea‘s Oliver Proudlock and Rosie Fortescue, vloggers Gracie Francesca, Lily Pebbles and Bec Boop, and bloggers Two Shoes, One Pair.

The #Boxathon day was kicked off with an item from the Queen of Youtube herself, Zoella, whose signed book raised £90 alone.

We hope to do this (or something very similar again) next year, so until then – a massive thanks from us here at Boxman – the #Boxathon team!
