A golf day has raised £10,500 for LOROS hospice.
Diane Morris, fundraising manager for the charity, said companies from across the region attended the annual event at Rothley Park Golf Club.
"The generosity of the sponsors ensured an amazing profit of £10,500 was raised to help fund care for our terminally ill patients and support for their families," she said.
The event, held on Friday, May 3, attracted 21 teams.
They say elephants never forget. Now LOROS is keeping that promise with its Remember Me elephant. The mammoth elephant is the work of local artist Anna Shutt, who was inspired by looking through photograph albums of relatives.
LOROS Hospice is pleased to confirm it will receive a share of the Government’s recently announced £75 million capital fund for hospices in England.
An Elephant themed art trail is stampeding into Leicester on Monday 14th July, in support of LOROS Hospice.
