£10,000 donated to Crawley hospice
A CHEQUE for £10,000 was presented to nurses at St Catherine’s Hospice after a year of various fundraising events by a law firm.
Staff at Rawlison Butler, which has an office in Crawley, have taken part in numerous challenges to raise vital cash.
Digby Armstrong, managing partner, canoed solo around the Isle of Wight and raised £3,500 for the hospice.
Mr Armstrong said: “We have set ourselves the challenge of raising £30,000 over three years towards the care and comfort that St Catherine’s Hospice provides in the community, and our first twelve months have proved very successful.”
Tony Hyams-Parish, head of employment law, ran the London marathon in just more than four hours, with friends and clients donating towards the cause.
Money was also raised through a quiz, bowling challenge, cake sales and donations.
Michael Beasley, corporate fundraiser for St Catherine’s Hospice, said: “This incredible amount of money reflects the commitment and enthusiasm the team at Rawlison Butler has shown to our cause. We wish them every continued success for fundraising in 2012.”
