Blog The Golddigger Charity Auction Posted 13 days ago
What an amazing night we had at the Golddigger Charity Auction! It was amazing to have so many friends and supporters joining us for a night to celebrate the work of Golddigger Trust while enjoying free champagne, extremely tasty canapes, live jazz and scribbling down their bids on the silent auction lots. It was good to see everyone getting appropriately rowdy for the main auction with prizes ranging from a night in a castle, to a signed picture of Dermot O’Leary (which actually brought in a ridiculous £52!), to a limited edition gold plated John Lennon disc, to tickets to see Snow Patrol, to a night in a Mongolian yurt, to a behind the scenes set tour of C4’s Shameless…and so so many more! Thank you to all who came for being involved in such a special night. We were overwhelmed both with the quality of the prizes which were so generously donated for the evening and with the generosity of all of you who came. The auction alone raised over £3000 and so far (as it just keeps coming in) we know the night has brought in over a whopping £6500! Wow!
We would like to say a special thank you to the Prince of Wales on Ecclesall Road, Sheffield for hosting such a brilliant event for us. (Do pop in there for a meal if you’re near by…we thoroughly recommend it, particularly if you fancy an amazing steak, and I promise they’ve not even asked us to say that!) Their provision of the beautiful venue, the food and drinks meant that every penny of the funds raised can go strait into Golddigger’s work with vulnerable children and young people.
