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.
Staff at LOROS Hospice – including nurses on the inpatient ward – swapped their uniforms for pyjamas yesterday, as part of a fundraiser celebrating the launch of a new charity sleepwear range.
40 giant elephants from LOROS Hospice’s Stomp Round Leicester art trail were auctioned off last night, raising a mammoth £286,800 for the charity.
Make sure to tune in to BBC East Midlands Today at 6.30pm on Friday 3rd October, because we’re going live from the Hospice alongside our Elephants!
