What an amazing night we had at our Stargazer Fundraiser. Thanks to the generosity of all our guests and those who donated auction items, we raised £3535 for Ellen’s Gift of Hope Charity.
There was beautiful music from Jesse Terry and Alan Fish really made the night. Ellen played the guitar & Jesse’s live version of his wonderful song ‘Stargazer’ made a memorable evening very special.
We had a thrilling auction, great food, dancing and even fireworks to finish the night with a bang. Everyone had a fabulous evening and really dug deep for a great cause.
We would like to give special thanks to:
- Wendy McGuigan and Rosemary Rennie who made the room look stunning
- Deborah Charlton Trinder and Susan Aynsley Charlton for your help on the night
- Blyth Rugby and Cricket Club for hosting the night (and Ian Stewart for his amazing chilli!)
- Ellen’s Aunties, Declan, Cleo and Lynn who provided more delicious food
- Kelly’s Cakes for the Moon & Stars cake
- Laura Morris Batey & all the Starbucks team at Blyth for donating their tips for a fabulous raffle prize and to Nadim Ednan-Laperouse for arranging a Starbucks Pumpkin Spiced Hamper (Ellen loved Starbucks PSL! ).
- Auctioneers Scott and Dawn Robinson we’re both fantastic & really boosted the bids with fun & humour
- A special mention to Pat Armstrong and Mel who went crazy & had the winning bid of £700 on our Grand Auction prize of a Stargazing, supper & slumber night, kindly donated by Twice Brewed Inn…..we wish them an amazing night under the stars.
Once again we were overwhelmed by the generosity of those donating auction items, as well as the people who came to the event and gave so generously.
The event was held in October 2022
Oh what a night!
