How the Great North Run is for everyone
At Martin House, running with our team is for everyone, no matter who you are. And while the Great North Run is…
An array of incredible prizes is up for grabs as we launch our Glitter Ball online auction.
The Glitter Ball is our flagship event and the most sparkling in the calendar. In 2022, we raised an incredible £175,000 and £50,000 of this was from the online auction. It would be incredible to see the same generosity again this year.
There are over 50 amazing prizes on offer in the online auction, which runs until the Glitter Ball event at Rudding Park, Harrogate, on Friday 5 May.
There truly is something for everyone among the lavish lots — ranging from a princess cut solitaire diamond ring, to two tickets to see Peter Kay at Leeds Arena with overnight stay, and even year’s supply of Yorkshire puddings!
Maddie Bentley, our Events Fundraising Manager, said: ‘Some of these lots are real money-can’t-buy experiences, which have been created just for us. If you’re a sports fan, you’re in for a treat as there are two hospitality tickets for England versus Ireland at Headingley with an overnight stay, a signed Manchester City shirt, and two VIP tickets to Harrogate Town Football Club, including pre-match hospitality available.
‘You don’t even need to attend the Glitter Ball to bid on these prizes, and there’s such a wide range of things on offer that you won’t be disappointed, just visit our online auction and place your bid.’
Other auction prizes include tickets to shows like Frozen the Musical at Theatre Royal Drury Lane. If that’s not your thing, try your chances of winning an indulgent Rudding Park spa stay with luxury lodge, or could even win a MacBook.
As well as the auction lots, there is an online prize draw to win a three-night stay for up to eight guests at a luxurious holiday cottage at Swinton Estate near Masham. It includes a one-hour falconry experience and a fantastic culinary feast.
Maddie added: ‘Each year, we’re overwhelmed by people’s support and generosity for our work. We’d like to thank everyone who has donated a prize to the auction — it means 100% of the money raised will go towards supporting children, young people and their families when they need us most.’
You can see all the lots on offer, place your bids and enter the online prize draw now.
