TWO girls have raised £1,610 for the Teenager Cancer Trust in memory of a school friend who died last year.
CeeJay Liles and Laura Whatling organised a fundraising bash at the Brackenborough Hotel, Louth, in honour of their late friend Nicole Williams.
As reported, the former Cordeaux Academy student passed away on December 3 last year after a brave battle against cancer.
Laura, 18, and CeeJay, 17, organised an auction, raffle, cake sale and guess the number of sweets stands, while a buffet was donated by the hotel.
Laura said: "The night was a massive success with the help of the local community and businesses around Louth and Grimsby.
"We had more than 100 people turn up at one point during the night, and I'm really proud of how it went."
Entertainment was provided by Cheryl and Jerry Smith who got people in the mood for the auction, led by Jamie Harris.
Laura added: "Nicole's family is over the moon with how the evening went and are so proud of what CeeJay and I have achieved in memory of Nicole.
"We hope to host more events like this in the future to keep raising more money."
The duo would like to thank Alex Dunn, Lucy Vickers, Kristen Fenwick and Billy Beasley who gave up their time to help on the night.
