Dewsbury Rams stars pitch in for children’s hospice as Bling Fling butlers

The rugby league club has volunteered to pitch in with a team of ‘Butlers in Bowties’ who will meet and greet guests as they arrive.

The Bling Fling is back for the second year running on Friday, May 3, at The Arches in Dean Clough, Halifax. This year’s lunch will have a floral theme, with beautiful single stem flowers available for guests to buy.

Vicki Davenport, head of The Bling Fling committee said: “We’d like to say a huge thank-you to the lads for being such great sports in coming along to help raise funds for such an amazing cause.

“Sorry ladies – please don’t all suddenly form a scrum for tickets, as the tables are all already sold out. However there is still chance to sponsor the Floral Bling Fling or donate some lovely prizes for the raffle.”

The first ‘Diamond’ Bling Fling, with its glittering jewellery theme, raised an impressive £17,750 for the hospice.

Jess Lees, Corporate Fundraiser at Forget Me Not Children’s Hospice, said: “Without events like the Bling Fling to bring in funds and the support of caring people like the whole team at Dewsbury Rams, we wouldn’t be able to carry on doing what we do.”
