An evening in aid of Cardiac Risk in the Young has raised £2345 for the Craig Salmon Memorial Fund. The Catwalk & Canapes Fashion Show organised by Janette Prince, daughter Katie and Helen Walker featured fashion and accessories for the stylish lady from Bonita of Tutbury.
A complimentary glass of wine, canapés and a grand raffle all contributed to a truly successful evening.
Raffle prizes donated by local businesses included a Family Portrait by Steve Withers Photography of Tutbury, 2 Premier Enclosure Badges for Uttoxeter Racecourse and tickets for Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde at the Regent Theatre given by Steelite International of Stoke-on-Trent.
The money raised will go to the Craig Salmon Memorial Fund which will provide heart screening for local youngsters which is provided by CRY’s Mobile Screening Programme.
Craig died suddenly in June 2009 and his family have pledged to raise £10,000 to fund the screening and help prevent other families suffer a similar tragic loss.
The money raised included a £500 donation from JCB, for whom Craig worked.
Helen Walker said, “We would like to thank everyone who has supported the Fashion Evening. There are too many to mention but we are delighted the evening was a resounding success and a fantastic fundraiser”
