£75,000 raised for Hospice Isle of Man

Business consultancy firm, Altitude, donated £25,000 to Hospice Isle of Man to enable them to purchase the prize for the annual ‘Christmas Car Draw’.

The donation from Altitude has meant that as much of the money raised as possible from the draw has come back to Hospice, and will go directly to patient care.

This year, 3000 tickets were sold therefore an incredible £75,000 was raised for Hospice.

Last week on January 5, the winner of the 2023 Christmas Car Draw collected their prize.

Ticket number 3392 was bought by Inge Gestles, and her ticket was chosen to be the winner of the Hybrid, Automatic, Renault Captur with a retail value of over £29,000.

“When I bought the tickets I didn’t expect to win but I was happy to help this extraordinary charity raise funds.”

Each and every person who entered the draw has helped make a huge difference to the charity, its’ patients and loved ones.

All care is freely available to those across the Island, and this couldn’t be possible without the support received in fundraising events such as the annual Christmas Car Draw.

With the support of the local community, Hospice can be there for patients and their loved ones 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 52 weeks a year.

Hospice would like to thank everyone who entered the 2023 Christmas Car Draw, Altitude for their very kind donation and congratulate Inge on receiving the prize.
