Tuesday 27 September 2022 - Stonegate Media:
The Crown in Ramsgate and The Red Lion in Sittingbourne, part of the award-winning Craft Union Pub Company, who won Best Community Operator at the 2022 Publican Awards have recently carried out fundraising activities in which they have raised over £4,900 for East Kent Hospitals Charity Chemotherapy units and Ramsgate Amateur Boxing Club.
Kim Morgan, Operator of The Crown, the pub team and customers recently welcomed former customer and now Operator of The Red Lion, Carl Bentley to host and participate in a head and beard shave as part of the fundraising initiative for East Kent Hospitals Charity Chemotherapy units. The charity raises funds to support wards across East Kent Hospitals, including the staff, patients and families as well as aiming to make their hospitals the best they can be. Carl had been growing his hair for two years and agreed to shave it all off to raise money for local hospitals caring for those suffering from cancer. The head and beard shave raised a total of £3,700 which is being donated to the charity.
Kim Commented: “It was great to welcome Carl and The Red Lion customers to the pub for his head shave. Cancer is something that is very close to both Carl and me, so it was great to be able to play a part in supporting the fundraising for the local cancer wards.”
Carl said: “There is always fundraising initiatives going on at the pub, but this one was very special to myself and Kim. Both of us have connections with loved ones suffering from cancer and losing them to the disease, and it is great to be able to give back to those living with cancer and those caring for these individuals in our local area. It was also nice to return to The Crown to carry out my shave, as it was my local pub, and it always brings back so many memories every time I am there. Thank you to all that came along and donated.”
As well as hosting Carl’s head shave, Kim and The Crown have been carrying out their annual fundraising for Ramsgate Amateur Boxing Club. The pub recently held a fundraising weekend, which included raffles and small, fun competitive games, in which the local community came down and participated. So far Kim and the pub have raised £1,200 and will confirm their total after a few more activities have taken place.
Kim added: “Our fundraising weekend was lovely, the pub team, local customers and I had lots of fun participating in and watching the activities going on. I would like to thank everyone who came along over the weekend and for all the donations we have received as well as all the support, it means so much. The pub is a real part of the Ramsgate community, and it was nice to be able to bring everyone together to have some fun this great local cause.”
Kim who will be celebrating five years at The Crown this October, and Carl are keen to continue their fundraising efforts at the pubs and support the local community of Ramsgate and Sittingbourne.
