Thread: Fund raiser

Flood · 07-07-2008, 01:42 PM

On Saturday night we held our yearly fund raiser for the Hospice. Of course it had to be indoors this year because of the weather, but we still had a stonking good time! I don't think I've ever laughed till I've wet myself before!!

We had all sorts going on, a tombola, bingo, a bring and but, a treasure hunt (which I won!), a guess who game and loads more.
It was mainly friends and family who came, but a couple of MacMillan nurses turned up too, which made our night.
Anyway, we managed to raise £250 for the Hospice, which we will give to them tomorrow.
We've been doing this for 5 years now, and hope to still be doing it in 5 years time.
Anything for the Hospice. I'd even do a naked calender as in the Calender Girls!

Well done Sally and friends/family, and for such a good cause, there's not many people including myself who haven't had the need for the care and attention given to close one's in their final hours, sad but true.
