 Local charity benefits from t20 Gloucester Gloucestershire County Cricket Club today presented a cheque to The Family Haven charity following a successful fundraising initiative at t20 Gloucester. The charity, with the help of the club, raised over £900 during the 2 matches at the Archdeacon Meadow ground in June. The charity played a full part in the 2 exciting Friends Provident t20 fixtures providing information about the charity, face painting and helping with raffles amongst the crowd and within the corporate hospitality. The Family Haven was thrilled to be chosen as the club’s charity for t20 Gloucester. The exposure given to The Family Haven by the club at the event was considerable and as a result we were able to raise a total of £917.56. Our sincere thanks must go to the club, its officials, staff and supporters for this wonderful contribution to our funds.’ GCCC Chief Executive, Tom Richardson said “We are delighted that taking t20 cricket on the road has provided this opportunity to help raise funds for a local charity.” T20 was played in Gloucester for the first time on 11th and 13th June at the King’s School, as GCCC took the exciting format on the road. |
