Spectral spectacular: Frightful event raises ?700 for Junior Achievement

by isleofman.com 1st November 2012

A spectral spectacular has raised £700 for Junior Achievement Isle of Man.

 

The Hop tu Naa-themed event at the Manx Legion Club in Douglas attracted supporters in various stages of ghoulish fancy dress and undress with skeleton trophies awarded to the four most fanciful and frightening fashion-forward creations.

 

The charity’s fundraiser Tina Edge said: ‘The event went really well thanks to the support of people who donated either their time or prizes, including CakePops by Berni Kneale, Katherine Glennon’s Cupcakery, karaoke by Mike Kneale and the Manx Legion Club staff.  Fantastic sounds from Soul Suspects completed a great evening where everyone had good time and thanks to their generosity we’ve raised £700.’
