We collectively raised just over £96,000 last night at the Kids in Mind Charity Question of Sport Dinner. Thanks to everyone who attended and supported the evening.
Some highlights for us ...
The heartfelt speech given by the excellent Alistair McDonald;
The audio/visual tribute to our original guest host, the late great Kevin Keegan, supported by saxophonist Ross Cantrell’s live performance of Local Hero.
An unnamed gentleman, a third-party guest staying at the hotel, learnt of the evening’s focus and handed the team a £100 cash donation, saying the work resonated with him and his difficult upbringing.
The generosity and spirit of those donating auction prizes, and those folks who bid so generously.
