We had a raffle, guess the weight of the cake, guess how many sweets in the jar, how many balloons in the car, Pin the Prosecco and played bingo! Donations were also made on arrival. The cakes were all made and decorated by myself and Mum and a few of our friends brought some along later on in the evening.
The fundraising target was £200.00 but they had an amazing success and raised £550.00, £637.50 including gift aid from Virgin Money Giving plus £800.90 cash from events on the day.
The total amount raised = £1438.40
I managed to get a few people to register to give blood and asked everyone that already donated to check they are on the bone marrow register.
