Stockport Business Awards on the hunt for charity raffle prizes

The Stockport Business Awards are looking for raffle prizes for the awards dinner in October.

The event at Stockport Town Hall on October 13 is supporting Francis House Children’s Hospice and the shortlist was released in June.

Organiser Julie Tunstall, from Clarke Nicklin, said: “Each year we ask for an array of prizes and each year we are astounded by the generosity of the Stockport business community.

“Just over £35,500 has been raised in total over the past four years for the previous charities.

“To raise as much as possible for Francis House we ideally need 40 prizes for the table raffles.

“Last year we had iPads, hampers, restaurant and store vouchers, champagne, pampering sessions, sportswear…the list goes on.

“There is also an opportunity to sponsor the star prize – a perfect way to get in front of some of Stockport’s finest business people.

“If you have a minimum of £1,000 in the marketing budget or can provide a top prize such as a holiday please get in touch.”

One of last year’s prizes was a trip to the British Grand Prix put up by Graham Saul from Cloud 9 hosts and he took Stockport Metro swimming coach Sean Kelly over the weekend.

Stockport based business Clarke Nicklin LLP organise the event and are main sponsors whilst headline sponsors are Gorvins Solicitors, NatWest, and Orbit Developments.
