£6000 Raised To Support Local Cancer Charities

Two local cancer charities, Star Throwers and Big C, benefited from the fundraising efforts of local gun dog trainers Sharon Dingle and Jo Rollinson receiving £3000 each to support people affected by cancer.

 

On Sunday 1st July over forty competitors and their four legged friends took part in a competition followed by an auction, which alone raised £3665 to raise funds for these two worthy charities. The amazing volunteer team of over twenty helpers (the youngest being two girls aged six) ran the event, tombola, refreshments and a barbeque selling exclusively pheasant sausages donated By Wild and Game. The grand total at the end of the day was an incredible £6000, which will be split between the two charities.

 

Sharon and Jo, Event Organisers said: “We would like to thank everyone who made the day possible, particularly the helpers who braved the heat and horseflies without complaint, we feel it has been a huge success.”

Victoria Pigg, Star Throwers Marketing & Fundraising Manager said: “We are incredibly grateful for the hardwork that Sharon, Jo their her team of volunteers has put into organising this event. The £3000 donation will make a huge difference to the patients and carers we support at Star Throwers and will help us provide our free information and advice service and holistic therapies.”
