More than a hundred people gathered on Saturday 29th November for the annual Christmas Quiz at the Hairy Lemon in Sotogrande Port.
Organised and presented once again by local fitness instructor Jojo France, with the support of Katherine Grant, the event has become a much-loved part of the festive calendar. Together they created a lively, social afternoon that raised well over €10,000 for the Duquesa Charitable Society of St. George’s Feed a Child campaign. Through the Emaus Social Kitchen in Estepona, this initiative provides breakfast and lunch to schoolchildren who would otherwise attend school hungry.
The Saint George Charity extends heartfelt thanks to Jojo and Kath for their tireless dedication; to DJ Lee Doyle for generously donating his time and talent; to the management and staff of the Hairy Lemon, who ensured glasses were never empty; to the many individuals and businesses who contributed prizes and services for the auction; and above all, to everyone who took part in the quiz and gave so generously. Once again, the Sotogrande community rose to the occasion with remarkable generosity.
There was a pause in the proceedings as attendees made their way to the quayside to welcome Gil Peer at the finish of his 53km run. Gil has been marking his 50th birthday with a series of running challenges, culminating in this remarkable 53km effort, which raised an impressive €5,290
This fantastic amount brings the Saint George Charity’s Christmas fundraising total to just over €26,500. A huge thank you to everyone who helped make this possible.
