Over 80 Shropshire businesswomen have gathered at Hadley Park House Hotel, Telford, for the annual Posh Frocks Charity Dinner.
The event is expected to raise over £2,800 to support the vital lifesaving work of Midlands Air Ambulance Charity.
A grand hamper raffle, merchandise sales, and generous donations, including a £250 gift from Jenny Wynn, contributed to the impressive fundraising total.
Additionally, Sarah Lowe and Sharon Gardener’s employer is pledging a £1,000 match-funding donation, bringing the final figure to £2,887.
Event organizer Kim Gilmour of Connect Consultancy expressed her gratitude to all attendees and supporters.
Kim said: “I am truly grateful to everyone who attended, donated and supported this event. The food and service at the Hadley Park House Hotel were excellent as usual and everyone seemed to have a good time. Jee Kay had everyone on their feet, trying out Bhangra Dance moves in a lively mini-workshop.
“Midlands Air Ambulance Charity receives no government funding and relies on generous donations to make its daily lifesaving missions possible. We were fortunate to have so many wonderful gifts donated for the Hamper Raffle encouraging everyone to dig deep and support this amazing charity.”
Lauren Czerniuk, corporate partnerships executive at Midlands Air Ambulance Charity, emphasized the crucial role of community support in enabling the charity to continue its lifesaving missions.
Lauren Czerniuk, corporate partnerships executive for Midlands Air Ambulance Charity said: “It is thanks to those in our local communities that we can continue saving lives every day.

Kim added: “This brings the amount these events have raised for local charities over the last 20 years to nearly £39,000.”
