Parents at The Firs School in Newton Lane, Chester raised £10,000 for two charities of their choice at a ball held at the Doubletree by Hilton Hotel (formally known as Hoole Hall Hotel).
Members of the parents’ committee, Becky Patton and Geoff Faulkner, handed cheques for £5,000 each to Julie Williams of the Cheshire Branch of the MND Association and to Cath Jeffries of the Wirral and Chester Renal Group. The ball, which was held on May 16th raised funds via a raffle and an auction. Generous parents donated prizes for the auction including five tickets for a Liverpool football match, children’s bicycles, a holiday on the isle of Anglesey, a personal chef to prepare dinner for 12 guests of your choice as well as tickets for a Madonna concert.
Julie Williams said: “We are delighted and very pleased to accept this cheque from the parents of the Firs School pupils. It is very much appreciated and will be used as the parents requested; for further research into this terrible disease.”
