We were proud to share £25,000 between 24 Teesside charities, community groups and schools through our latest Golden Giveaway.
The Golden Giveaway event was held at the Riverside Stadium – home of our patrons MFC – with many of our biggest supporters on hand to present cheques to Teesside causes that are not just worthy but truly inspiring.
Teesside Cystic Fibrosis Service were the big winners, receiving £5,000 after topping a social media poll.
The service cares for children in the Teesside area with cystic fibrosis, a debilitating genetic disorder which affects the lungs and other vital organs.
Nurse specialist Pauline Singleton said: “Winning this money is absolutely amazing and it really will make an incredible difference.”
The service planned to purchase a specialized machine that just so happens to cost £5,000 with their windfall.
