The Manhattan Club gets inspired with October fundraising

19 October 2013

It’s all systems go at the Manhattan Club in Harrogate this month for this year’s “You’re Inspired Challenge 2013”.

The Manhattan have completed their first 6 of the 16 events in place for Saint Michael’s Hospice this October. So far they have raised £1125, and with some of the bigger events to come, it’s getting very exciting.

Manager Chesca Haynes said:

We have been truly inspired throughout the challenge so far, everybody has really pulled together to try and make these events successful for Saint Michael’s Hospice. We’ve tried out some new ideas and have seen some very random things at the Manhattan, anything from becoming a cinema for the afternoon, face reading, to auctioning off a fireman and a very wild fire act! It’s been entertaining, we are very excited about the events to come as some of those are our biggest yet.

Saint Michael’s provides palliative care and support to those living with terminal illness and bereavement through their In Patient and Day Therapy Units, Lymphoedema Clinics, specialist nursing team who visit patients in their own homes, and ‘Just B’ Bereavement Support to anyone across the district who has experienced the loss of someone significant in their lives. These services are given at absolutely no cost to patients or their families and therefore they must currently raise annual costs of £3.8 million.
