A summer gala ball and charity auction held at The Park Royal Hotel in Stretton raised £3,205 in aid of local children’s cancer charity The Joshua Tree.
The charity auction included prizes of a one week in a luxury villa in Rhodes, a polo experience day, tickets to Chester races and a private cocktail party at home.
The Gala Ball was supported by members of The Park Royal Hotel and Leisure Club who chose the children’s cancer charity after meeting with The Joshua Tree’s fundraising manager Sara Wheater and finding out about the work that the charity does in supporting local families affected by childhood cancer.
Leisure Manager Amanda Gray, said: “The Gala Ball was such a great fundraising event in which I would like to thank all The Park Royal Members who came along and supported us and more importantly for their generosity and support during the evening. When it came to the auction there were one or two episodes of nail biting experiences which was fun to see and amazing that all the proceeds were for The Joshua Tree.
“A special thanks also to The Park Royal Social Committee Members who assisted with making the event happen.”
The Joshua Tree currently supports around 65 families across the North West living with the life changing experience of childhood cancer.
The charity was established in 2006 after the founders’ son, Joshua Hill was diagnosed with leukaemia.
His parents Lynda and David set up The Joshua Tree to make sure that other families affected by childhood cancer were able to access local support and share their experiences.
