In the first Sailors Children’s Society Sportsman’s Lunch since 2019, retired athletes and TV personalities Colin Jackson, Jamie Baulch and Roger Black, who is this year’s speaker, will join 700 guests at Double Tree by Hilton on October 8 during the charity’s 200th year.
The event, which is being sponsored by Williamsons Solicitors, will be preceded by a silent auction, with top prizes of a private dinner with Colin and a training session for 10 with Colin and Jamie at David Lloyd Hull.
Launched in Hull in 1821, the Sailors Children’s Society provides support for the families of seafarers, with the Sportsman’s Lunch raising money to provide winter clothing grants. In previous years, the lunch has generated up to £50,000 through sponsorship, tickets and auction prizes.
Deanne Thomas, CEO of the charity which started in Hull in 1821, said: “You don’t need to have a lunch ticket to take part in the silent auction and be in with a chance of winning one of these fabulous prizes, so please visit the auction webpage at sailorschildrenauction.co.uk.
Bill Waddington of headline sponsor Williamsons Solicitors said that the generosity of Hull’s business community had been incredible over the years. “After a year off due to COVID, we are all looking forward to coming together again for a brilliant afternoon of fun and fundraising while celebrating the Sailors Children’s Society’s 200th anniversary.”
To take part in the silent auction which is now open for bids please visit www.sailorschildrenauction.co.uk The pre-lunch silent auction closes on October 6 at 7pm.
