Over £1000 was raised for the charity that runs free sports and arts activities for young people.
The 5 On It Foundation were thrilled to be chosen as the official charity for Saturday night’s Milton Keynes Inspiration Awards 2022, which was attended by over 300 people.
During the night, a 50/50 raffle was held which raised £500 for 5 On It, giving the lucky ticket winner £250.
An exciting auction followed, which comprised of gifts donated by national and local organisations including SkyTV, John Lewis, Brasserie Blanc, Whittard of Chelsea, Social Pottery MK, Milton Keynes Food Awards, Krispy Kreme, Cock Inn North Crawley, Aqua Parks, Bannatyne Gym and Spa, Smile Direct and HK Hair.
£802 was raised in total through the raffle, raising a grand total of £1052 for the charity.
Lolly Marlborough from the 5 On It Foundation said “We were honoured to be chosen as the official charity for the 2022 Awards and are so so grateful to all those wonderful companies who donated prizes and to all the amazing dinner guests who bought raffle tickets and made auction bids.
"The money raised will run a much needed free sports activity for children and teenagers at risk of joining gangs and will be an integral part of our Gang Today Gone Tomorrow anti gang programme".
