The Archbishop of York, Dr John Sentamu, is supporting efforts to raise more than £60,000 for St Leonard’s Hospice at the next Sunflower Ball to be held at York Racecourse.
Dr Sentamu, who is president of St Leonard’s, joined Graham Miller, the hospice’s chairman of trustees, and members of the organising committee at Bishopthorpe Palace to launch the ball, to be held on April 24, 2010. Staged every two years, the ball is the hospice’s largest single fundraising event.
Meanwhile, smart fashions and great bargains from St Leonard’s Hospice shops will be highlighted at a special fashion show at the hospice – and everything is for sale.
The show at 7.30pm on Wednesday, May 27, will feature a wide selection of top-quality clothes, handbags and shoes. They will be modelled by shop customers and volunteers. Tickets, which are available at all the hospice shops or by phoning 01904 777777, cost £3.50.
