Around 250 people attended a fundraising evening of live music in Jonoโs memory on 1 March 2024. The event was held at The Rix Pavilion at The Driffield Showground and featured music from local bands Catch 22 and The Pickled Bluebells. A raffle was also held, with many prizes donated by local businesses and a charity auction of items such as Leeds Utd and Hull City hospitality tickets, signed Man Utd shirt and canal boat trip. Together with ticket sales a total amount of ยฃ14,000 was raised with all proceeds going to Jonoโs memorial fund.
Jonoโs parents Dave and Karen and sister Becky, who organised the event said โAfter tragically losing Jono in December 2022 we decided to raise funds specifically to bring vital heart screening to Driffield and our local community. Weโve been overwhelmed by the support weโve received from people making donations to local businesses providing sponsorship and raffle prizes and weโd like to thank everyone involved. As a result of the fantastic amount raised weโve been able to book our first weekend of screening in January 2025.โ
