Country and western hoedown set to raise cash for Good Hope

FOGHH-Logo-300x300The Friends of Good Hope Hospital fundraising group is putting on a country and western night at Sutton Coldfield Rugby Club on Saturday 25 June to raise money for Good Hope Hospital.

Music will be provided by the Anker Valley Boys with a square dance. There will also be a hog roast with trimmings, and a raffle with some great prizes, donated by local businesses, including hair appointments, malt whisky, Ray Ban sunglasses and £100 John Lewis vouchers. Tickets cost £35 per person or £350 for a table of 10. To find out more or buy a ticket, please contact Tony Cannon on info@friendsofgoodhope.org or 07444 537656.

Friends of Good Hope Hospital formed in November 2015 and they hope to raise £15,000 this year. They have already raised £1,700 from bucket collections, tombolas and coffee mornings and hope to sell 180 tickets for their country and western night, getting them another step closer to their ambitious target.

The money raised will be used to provide those little extras that make such a difference for patients, and this week they presented a record player to the elderly ward so they can play their collection of records.

Tony Cannon, joint chair of the group, said: “We are really excited about this fun event. We hope that as many of you as possible will dig out your cowboy boots and ‘mosey’ on down to help us raise as much money as we can to support the staff and improve the patient experience at Good Hope Hospital.”

The group is also looking for more fundraising volunteers, so if you have some time to spare and would like to get involved or to donate, contact them on:
