Chisholm Hunter Shines at Charity Event
- 28 Jan 2019
With the traditional haggis and dram of whisky, Burn's Night is an opportunity to celebrate the legacy of the great Scottish bard. But for Chisholm Hunter, this evening is more than just an excuse to enjoy a night of Scottish splendour. As the presenting sponsor, and an avid supporter of Spina Bifida Hydrocephalus Scotland (SBH Scotland) for over a decade, Chisholm Hunter donated a 9ct White Gold Diamond Necklet, a 14ct White Gold Diamond Pendant and ten Armani watches, all of which were up for grabs as raffle and quiz prizes.
The stellar event, hosted by former Scottish international rugby player Andy Nichol at the Hilton Glasgow hotel, saw 500 guests attend an evening of poetry, with a lavish four-course dinner washed down in the traditional fashion with a dram of Glen Scotia Malt whisky.
Guests could also take part in a quiz on all things Rabbie Burns and bid on prizes including a luxury holiday to Sri Lanka in a silent auction.
Deborah Roe, fundraising director at SBH Scotland, said: Our annual Question of Burns' supper is a highly-anticipated event in our calendar and once again it did not disappoint.
Without the continuous generosity from the team at Chisholm Hunter and all those who attended our event, we wouldn't be able to provide specialist services to the 3,500 children, young people and their families who live with spina bifida and/or hydrocephalus in Scotland. I'd like to say a huge thank you to everyone who helped to make the event so special.
Established over 50 years ago to provide advice, information and practical help to those affected with the condition and their families, SBH Scotland's work is an inspiration.
