Racegoers raise cancer cash
31st October 2017

Customers have applauded GLAZERITE after its latest Race Day where guests helped to raise over £550 for a charity devoted to giving gift bags to cancer patients.

More than 150 guests attended the event at Wolverhampton Racecourse, which included a three-course dinner and evening entertainment, with some travelling from as far away as Aberdeen and the Isle of Man.

There were both losses and wins on the horses, with Shane Howells, pictured with wife Clare, being one of the lucky installers. He said: “What a fantastic night with great friends.

The win made it extra special and we can't wait to see what Glazerite have in store for us next year”.

The biggest handover of the evening, however, was £552 to The Lewis Foundation, a charity who organise weekend visits to Northamptonshire hospitals to give cancer patients a choice of gift bags to brighten their stay.

Group Marketing Manager, Michelle Wright explained the choice of charity: “Whilst visiting a friend in hospital I came across them when their volunteers brought my friend in a gift bag to cheer her up. Since then I’ve followed them and have been amazed by the work they do. We raised a fantastic amount on the night due to everyone’s generosity and the charity were delighted at the prospect of being able to help so many more patients with the donation.”
