Quiz teams battled it out in a Who Wants To Be A Millionaire-style contest in aid of the Hospice 2000 appeal.
The second annual corporate patrons' quiz, in aid of the £2million appeal to extend St Leonard's Hospice, was set by David Winpenny, who took on the role of Chris Tarrant.
Twelve teams entered and the victors were the Harrowell Harriers, from solicitors' firm, Harrowell Shaftoe, who picked up the quiz shield and a bottle of champagne each.
The evening, held at Huntington Stadium, was introduced by BBC Radio York presenter Elly Fiorentini. Janet Morley, the hospice's fundraising manager, thanked all the companies there for their ongoing support - including the Evening Press, which fielded three teams.
The quiz night raised several hundred pounds, which will go towards the final push for £100,000 to take the appeal up to its £2m target.
