Naomi House & Jacksplace teamed up with Norton Park Hotel and Spa to host their first Race Night where top-winning jockey, Sean Levey, made a guest appearance.
The evening raised £6,500 for hospices for children and young adults. Over 150 locals watched horse racing on a large screen with the evening featuring eight sponsored races and 64 sponsored horses.
Guests listened as Mr Levey discussed his career, including his legendary victory at the 1,000 Guineas on Biddesden Brook at 66-1.
Ella Clayton, senior corporate fundraiser at Naomi House & Jacksplace, said: "We were absolutely delighted to host our first-ever Race Night for our corporate partners. The event was an absolute success, thanks to the amazing team at Norton Park Hotel, our fundraising team, our sponsors, our volunteers and our corporate partners, who all came together to create a very special evening to help support our families.
"The atmosphere on the night was electric as everyone was shouting and cheering their favourite horses over the finish line. And the star of the night was undoubtedly Sean Levey, with his interesting stories and experiences. Thank you to our incredible sponsors who made this event happen; Norton Park Hotel and Spa, FORTH Construction Services and Hattingley Wines."
