Brains of Derbyshire do battle for Marie Curie - and raise a whopping £57,000

news image

An amazing night raising money for Marie Curie saw generous Derbyshre businesses achieve the fantastic total of £57,000 for the charity - this will cover 3,500 hours of nursing care.   The Derbyshire Brain Game, sponsored by us for nine years, was held at Pride Park Stadium and was a resounding success with 33 businesses paying to host a table for the night which included a quiz, excellent food and an auction for experiences that money can't buy.   After a decade, the event has now raised £400,000 for Marie Curie!   The winning team on the night were Smith Partnership. Congratulations to them and thanks to everyone who joined us for the night. Already looking forward to 2024!   A special mention goes to the students and staff at Derby College who created a stunning trophy and Adam Buss our compere and quizmaster for the evening.
