Customers and staff at the Marine Tavern in Broad Street raise £1,543.22 for Rockinghorse the official fundraising arm of the Royal Alexander Children’s Hospital.
The money was partly raised during this years Rockinghorse Dragon Boat Festival at Brighton Marina on Sunday, April 24 by the Marine Taverners rowing team. Drag queen Stephanie von Clitz was the drummer on the boat. In the evening Candi Rell hosted an open mic drag night at the Marine Tavern which involved among other things a raffle, and auctioned kisses with Craig Harwood who organised the event.
Craig Harwood said: “When I was younger, I suffered a potentially life-changing injury and it resulted in needing emergency surgery in the middle of the night. With the help of all those at the Children’s Hospital, the surgeons who were woken up and the support staff, I wish to show my thanks for bringing me back to full health and making it possible for me to live a normal lifestyle.”
Craig and the team at The Marine Tavern smashed their target of £600 raising a fantastic total of £1,543.22.
