You may have heard us mention a new charity set up in the last few months in memory of Sam Harding who was tragically killed in a road traffic accident. The charity was set up with the aim of supporting young people between the age of 18 and 30 and to help give them a leg up to achieve the things they wouldn't otherwise be able to achieve without the help of the GoMakeItHappen charity.
The first big fundraiser was held last night down at the Harpenden Halls and it couldn't have gone better! There was sumptuous food thanks to Spice of Caddington, side splitting comedy and of course a special guest appearance from Chelsea legend Ron 'Chopper' Harris. Everyone was very much in the giving mood and dipped into their pockets to make sure that over £2,000 was raised on the night alone!
There was also a charity auction which went down a storm, where people could walk away with some fantastic footballing memorabillia, including a signed Wayne Rooney shirt, signed & framed Ron 'Chopper' Harries photo (pictured tackling George Best may I add!) and other sporting paraphernalia. Plus there were other smaller goodies on offer like signed Iron Maiden cd's, an Adnam's Brewery tour and obviously plenty of the alcoholic stuff! We also donated a couple of North Face Daypacks!
A great night was had by all, and for the first major event for the GoMakItHappen charity, its certainly was a roaring success.
