St Michael's raise more than £2,500 at Local Hero Awards

Monday, 28 October 2024 10:50

The Saint Michael's Hospice team at the Your Harrogate Local Hero Awards.

A charity raffle held at Your Harrogate’s Local Hero Awards was able to raise more than £2,500 on Friday night.

The event returned to Rudding Park to recognise and celebrate the area’s unsung heroes.

And a team from Saint Michael’s hosted a raffle to fundraise for the charity - with a number of special prizes up for grabs.

Visitors were given the chance to take home a supercar for the weekend courtesy of ALX Specialist Cars in Ripon.

There was also a family ticket for the Beauty and the Beast pantomime at Harrogate Theatre, a meal for two at Rudding Park’s FIFTY TWO Restaurant and a luxury chocolate hamper.

Michael White, Partnerships Manager at Saint Michael’s Hospice, said:

“The team and I had a fantastic night. It was so inspirational to hear all the stories of people living in our community, doing incredible things.

“£2,515 was raised from the raffle, which is an incredible amount and will do so much good.”

Speaking about the event, Juls Ekin, Managing Director at ALX, said:

"Everyone nominated and the winners deserve so much respect for what they have been through and in turn achieved.

"It was incredibly humbling to say the least."

We at Your Harrogate would like to thank the team at ALX Specialist Cars, Harrogate Theatre and Rudding Park for donating raffle prizes.
