Fundraising Event Saved By Restaurant

Yorkshire, England - A glitzy fundraising evening was saved at the 11th hour after a flood left its venue looking like a “bomb site”. Staff at the Overgate Hospice designer shop in Brighouse arrived yesterday morning to find a burst water pipe had caused the ceiling to collapse and left six-inch-deep water on the ground floor. The shop was due to play host to Overgate’s Glam and Glitz Fundraiser that evening. Fortunately, a savior came forward in the shape of Brighouse business Prego Restaurant – and the event went ahead at the Huddersfield Road venue. A spokesman for Overgate said: “They tried to rescue whatever stock that they could within the timescale before they were told to get out. Thankfully, all the Glamour stock for the fundraising event was totally undamaged and the staff managed to rescue it.”  www.fundraising-ideas.org
