Lichfield and Leicester accountancy firm Inspired Accountants have presented St Giles Hospice with a cheque for £1,060 after hosting a quiz evening for clients and associates.

 

Inspired organised and hosted the quiz at Darnford Moors Golf Club on 22nd November as part of a yearlong fundraising effort for St Giles Hospice.  On the night 56 people attended with fourteen teams entering the quiz.

 

Paul Bulzacchelli, Managing Director at Inspired said: “The quiz was a great success with such a good number of clients and business partners taking part and helping raise such a large amount of money. 

 

“St Giles Hospice is a really worthwhile cause and we know exactly where the money is going and that it will be well-spent providing specialist medical and nursing care for people with cancer and other serious illnesses as well going towards providing support for their families and helpers.”

 

In addition to the quiz, a raffle and a game of Heads & Tails also generated cash for St Giles Hospice.  “Everyone has been so kind in donating prizes.  We had 15 raffle prizes including a Pearl Necklace & Earrings set worth £175 from Nexus Pearls and Lime Computing Services very generously donated an Android Tablet worth £300.00, which was used for the Heads & Tails prize.  I would also like to thank The Trophy Store for donating the winning trophies”, said Paul.

 

On the night the top three teams included, Fradley based Amtrain who came third, Ludgate Finance who took second place and Burton on Trent’s Mechatronics who finish first after a tense tiebreak.

 

The quiz was such a success that Inspired have decided to make it an annual fundraising event and have confirmed Thursday 26th September 2013 as the date for the next quiz.
