Group photo.jpgThe Halloween Spooktacular Quiz in aid of Blue Skies Charity took place Friday, 25 October. The event was organised by Lee and Gemma Watson and managed to raise an incredible £2,003.91.

The money raised on the night will go towards enhancing patient care at Blackpool Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust. 

 On the night there was a variety of games, quizzes, raffle and even a silent auction. There was also a costume competition for the best adult and best child costume.

Deanna Harvey, Communications Officer for Blue Skies said: "Heartfelt thanks to our incredible ambassadors, Lee and Gemma Watson, for putting on another fantastic Halloween Spooktacular! Your dedication and hard work continue to raise vital funds for the Blue Skies Hospital Fund, making a lasting impact in our community. We're truly grateful for your ongoing support!"

Lee Watson said: “We were thrilled to see so many members of the Trust and the local community come together for a night of spooky fun and fundraising!  Hosting this second Halloween quiz has been a fantastic way to support Blue Skies Hospitals Fund, a cause close to both of our hearts.  We’re so grateful for everyone’s enthusiasm and generosity.  We’d especially like to say thank you to the Layton Institute, Dave Ward Roadshows and Bake ‘Em by Hogarth for providing their terrific services at the event.  Gemma and I can’t wait for next year’s event to see if we can beat this year’s incredible total of £2,003.91!”

Thank you to everyone who attended on the night for helping to make the event a success and thank you to colleagues Lee and Gemma for their hard work and dedication organising the night.
