The 20th anniversary of the merger between Raeburn Christie & Co and Clark and Wallace in June 2004 was the excuse for the firm to host a lavish Charity Ball at the Chester Hotel on Friday, June 21.
More than 200 guests from across the business community – including clients and former partners of the merged firms - attended the Ball where more than £37,000 was raised, with all funds going directly to RCCW’s current charity partner, Friends of ANCHOR.
Heather Stephen, Head of Commercial Property and the chairperson of RCCW’s charity foundation said “We are absolutely delighted to have raised such a fantastic sum of money from the evening and we are very grateful to our sponsors, Barratt Homes, the KR Group and First Scottish, all of our wonderful supporters, and to everyone who attended the dinner. These events could not be possible without such generosity and kindness”
Friends of ANCHOR are a leading north-east charity who support those facing a cancer or haematology diagnosis through vital wellbeing services, research funding, medical equipment and NHS Grampian staff development and training. The Ball highlighted the excellent work, commitment and dedication of the Friends of Anchor volunteers and how impactful their support is to patients of the Anchor unit at Aberdeen Royal Infirmary.
Erica Banks, head of communications at Friends of ANCHOR, said: “We’re so grateful to Raeburn Christie Clark and Wallace for including us in their anniversary celebrations and raising such a fantastic amount for us. The generosity on show on Friday night was limitless – from those who donated prizes or bought multiple raffles, to the winner of the diamond necklace draw who handed it back to be auctioned off to raise even more. Every single penny raised will go directly to supporting cancer and haematology patients here in the North-east.”
