Angela Oldroyd organised the event. She said:<\/p>\n
\u201cWe are delighted with the money raised at our event. It\u2019s hard work, very time intensive but we had a fantastic evening and everyone was happy, including the charity.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cSome children supported by the charity make wishes to be a fairy princess or soldier for the day, meet celebrities or sporting and TV heroes from the Red Arrows to Mary Berry and others wish for a laptop to keep in contact with their friends and family whilst in hospital.\"<\/p>\n
\"I went along with the families who took part in a magical trip, dubbed the Northern Santa Express. The train whisks seriously ill youngsters away from hospitals and appointments to spend fun time with their families, giving them a chance to escape, even for a short while, from the difficulties they face on a day-to-day basis. It is such a privilege to be involved with When you Wish upon a Star and the amazing children it helps.\"<\/p>\n
Joanne Wright from When you Wish upon a Star says:<\/p>\n
\u201cAs a charity, we rely heavily on the generosity of local people and businesses to help fund our project. We are absolutely delighted to receive such a fantastic level of support from The Promotion Company, I know how hard Angela, Richard and their team have worked over the last few months to bring the event together. Also a number of their contacts have been very generous providing high value auction and raffle items.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cThe Promotion Company always pull off a great evening of entertainment and all the guests, including me had a ball.\u201d<\/p>\n
