Annual Sportsman’s Dinner held in aid of St Catherine’s Hospice

Over 100 supporters attended the 36^th annual Sportsman’s Dinner at Preston Grasshoppers Rugby Football Club in October in aid of the hospice.

The dinner included a sit-down meal, entertainment including a raffle and ‘guess the football scores’ and two guest speakers – ex-footballer Steve Daley and comedian John Stiles.

Event organiser, Frank Turley, said: “The event was brilliant, the three-course meal provided by Preston Grasshoppers was very good and there was a great response to the raffle and games that we played – everyone got involved.

“The theme of the night was to raise money and to have a good time – overall we raised £3,300 for St Catherine’s Hospice.”

Support was offered by local businesses which supplied sponsorship or raffle prizes;

• Loud and Clear Graphics
• Sleeve It
• Soccer Manager
• Preston North End
• Hellewells Menswear
• GM Energy Supply
• Marks & Spencer
• S.P Bathrooms and Interiors

St Catherine’s fundraiser, Emma Jacovelli, said: “We’re extremely grateful to Frank and everyone involved in the Sportsman’s Dinner.

“The money they have raised means we are able to continue providing much-needed end-of-life care and support to local people when it matters most.”
