We are writing to express our heartfelt gratitude for your generous support for our 2024 Chosen Charity, Shine21, at the recent Yorkshire Choice Awards Gala Dinner. The event was a spectacular success, and we are deeply moved by the kindness and generosity shown by everyone who attended.
While we are still awaiting the final total raised, we know that many of you asked for a QR code to make a donation after the PDQ machines reached capacity on the night. Please find the QR code below (or use this link) should you wish to contribute to this deserving charity.
As a token of the charity’s appreciation, the two largest donations will receive a special gift from Shine21. Up for grabs are a Thames River Hop-On Hop-Off Sightseeing Cruise for Two People and a Harrods Tea and Scones Experience for Two!
Adam Franks, Managing Director of our 2024 Headline Sponsor, Franks Accountants, said: "As the headline sponsor and a charity dear to our hearts, we extend our heartfelt congratulations to all the winners and nominees. Your generous support in raising vital funds for this amazing charity is deeply appreciated. We look forward to continuing our support of the awards for many years to come."

As a local charity, your donations and support are crucial to the families and children of Shine21. Congratulations to all the inspiring nominees and winners from the night. It was an honour to be surrounded by such fantastic individuals. We welcome support from individuals or companies in areas like fundraising, events, publicity/media, or any way you can contribute.
