Gallagher help 'Hilton in the Community Foundation'
Gallagher presented a cheque to staff of the Hilton Hotel and a member of the local Guide Dogs for the Blind Association
06th August 2008
Every year the Hilton Maidstone raises funds for the Hilton in the Community Foundation and this year is no exception. A week of events leading up to the finale on Sunday 29th June saw staff walking, running, rowing or cycling around the Hotel to raise as much money as possible for the Foundation. The nominated charity is the Guide Dogs for Blind Association .
The highlight of the week had to be the Executive Car and Van Valet Service. All the Manager’s in the Hotel agreed to put on their fundraising T-Shirts, leave their desks and paperwork behind and pick up a sponge or a chamois for the day and wash cars, vans and the odd lorry for charity. Gallagher contributed to the service by providing a van and a tipper lorry to be cleaned (no mean feat!) as well as providing a donation to the Foundation. By the end of the car washing day the Manager’s efforts had raised over £314.
The total money raised during the week was £1,285.68. This money has been sent to the Hilton Foundation which will then be passed on to Guide Dogs for the Blind Association and will be used to benefit young people under 25 years of age.
