A Cross Hills car dealership has donated £1,500 to Manorlands in support of the hospice’s 2011 Keighley BigK 10k fundraising event.

White Rose Volkswagen gave the cash in lieu of sending Christmas cards to its customers.

Managing director Frank Greenway presented the donation, the second such handed over to the Oxen-hope Sue Ryder Care home by the firm in two years, to Manorlands fundraiser Andrew Wood.

“The support that White Rose Volkswagen and our other main sponsors gave this last year helped us to raise £18,000 with the Keighley BigK event,” said Mr Wood.

The BigK presentation evening is at the Leeds City College Keighley Campus on Monday, January 10, when the 2011 events will be launched. To get involved, call Mr Wood on (01535) 640176 or e-mail Andrew.
