YORK-BASED consumer assistance business CPP Group plc is sponsoring an Arabian Nights-theme Sunflower Ball in aid of St Leonard's Hospice.
The firm, which employs 1,500 staff in the city, has helped set the event further on the road to reaching its £55,000 target with a £1,000 donation.
The Arabian Nights theme for this year's ball, which takes place at York Racecourse on Saturday June 10, promises excitement and mystery.
As well as its sponsorship, CPP is also taking a table at the event.
Janet Morley, fundraising manager for St Leonard's Hospice, is urging other businesses to follow CPP's example.
Tickets for the event are now on sale at £75 per guest. This includes a champagne reception, four-course dinner, live bands, disco and casino, and breakfast.
To reserve tickets or pledge your support, phone Ms Morley on 01904 777777 or email the fundraising centre at slhfrc@msn.com
