Harrogate Strays Continue Support For "Candlelighters"
Member raise £9000
Harrogate Strays Walking Football are proud to announce that due to the amazing generosity of their membership, have been able to donate £3,350 (excluding Gift-Aid) to their sponsored charity Candlelighters.
However, the good news doesn't stop there. As they made their donation through The Big Give Christmas Challenge, their donation has been doubled, meaning that Candlelighters have received over £7,000!
This, added to the £1150 donation they made to St Gemma's Hospice in memory of one of their former player John Wilcock, and £950 previously donated to Candlelighters, means that they have donated over £9,000 for charitable causes since April this year.
A representative of Candlelighters said: "The Christmas Challenge utilises our Pledge Model of match funding. This model allows supporters of participating charities to have their donations doubled with match funds provided by the charity’s own supporters (pledgers) and Big Give’s Champion partners.
