Last week Charlies-Angel-Centre sponsored a table at the Leeds Laughter Spectacular, raising money for Parkinsons UK, held at the Marriott Hotel, Leeds. 

This event was organised and hosted by a good friend of our charity, Mark Wilson, who is a Parkinson's sufferer himself. 

The work he must have put into arranging the evening must have been phenomenal. He finds it hard to do certain things but he has not let this stop him from achieving an amazing evening of comedy and a great fund raiser. 

Over the last 3 years Mark has also shown great support to our charity and has come along to numerous events to help us raise funds. He is truly an inspirational man and is passionate in his bid to raise funds for both our charity and Parkinson's UK.

During the fundraiser Mark allowed us to have our collection buckets on the bars to try and raise some funds for our charity, this again shows what an awesome fundraiser he is.

It was his dedication to helping both charities that made our decision to sponsor a table at the event very easy. 

Not only did we have a great night out at the event and made our sides hurt with all the laughing, but we were given advertising space on the video shown throughout the evening on a large screen. This gives us a great chance to get our charity out there to lots more families and businesses.

We are hoping to get a few more businesses interested in sponsoring a table at our Autumn Charity Ball in September. 

Attending the Leeds Laughter night showed us how important it is to get sponsors but also showed us how businesses can also benefit from being a sponsor.
