The event took place at The Venue in Barkisland on Friday, January 10 and saw more than 360 guests participate in a sports-themed card game, a silent auction, and a main auction, and was sponsored by Investing For Tomorrow.
Overgate wish to thank all the businesses and individuals who supported the event, donated auction prizes and bid generously on the night.
Rachel Lumb, community and events fundraising manager, said: “It has been a wonderful evening after such a challenging start to the year, once again we are touched by the overwhelming support and generosity shown for the hospice.
"We extend our appreciation to all the local businesses that sponsored or donated auction items for the event and to Harry Rednapp who also donated a surprise additional auction item on the night!”
