A charity football tournament held in Hunmanby has smashed its fundraising target, raising over £1,600 for a teenage cancer ward.
A four-figure sum will benefit a teenage cancer ward after a charity football tournament smashed its initial fundraising target.
The Dylan Kennedy Trophy took place in Hunmanby yesterday to raise vital funds for the medical team at St James Hospital.
The specialist cancer ward at the hospital previously treated Dylan, inspiring his brother, Keegan, to organise the local sporting event.
Organisers originally set a fundraising goal of one thousand pounds to support the ongoing work of the medical staff.
That financial target was comfortably exceeded following a strong turnout from the local community, vendors, and participating football teams.
Alongside the football matches, the event featured a raffle and a tombola to help boost the charitable donations.
Speaking after the tournament concluded yesterday, Keegan shared his delight at the final fundraising total:
"I've just counted up all the donations and we've raised £1,609.40 so far. I'm massively grateful for everyone that's come down, all the vendors, everybody who's donated for the raffle, for the tombola, and I'm massively grateful for all the teams that came ahead. So, thank you very much everybody for everything."
