An Auchterarder charity quiz night has successfully raised £1800 for a cancer charity, thanks to the big-hearted members of the Auchterarder Macmillan Cancer Support Fundraising Group. The fundraising event took place at the town’s community church hall on Saturday, September 28, and was sponsored by Erskine Eyecare, with the ‘Elmira’ team emerging victorious. Christine Steele, the chair of the Macmillan Cancer Support Fundraising Group, expressed her gratitude towards the community for their tremendous support during the event.
Steele mentioned the fantastic atmosphere at the hall on the night of the quiz, highlighting the overwhelming generosity of the attendees. She specifically thanked Erskine Eyecare for sponsoring the event, covering expenses, and providing amazing prizes for the winners. The committee also extended their appreciation to everyone who participated, assisted, and donated towards the cause. The evening was filled with entertainment, and a delightful spread was served during the interval, making it a memorable occasion.
The winning team ‘Elmira’ was commended for their performance in a closely contested quiz, with special recognition given to the sponsors, quiz composers, and all those who contributed to the success of the event.
