Charity Fundraiser In Memory Of Late Matt Graham

Family and friends of the late Matt Graham are hosting another charity fundraising event in his memory.

Last year, they paid tribute to Matt’s life on what would have been his 18th birthday with a successful event at Beverley Memorial Hall.

This year, family and friends are raising money for The Samaritans with a family fun day at Beverley Rugby Club’s Beaver Park ground on Sunday, 29 May from noon.

The fun day will include a rugby union game, a rugby league game, football and tug o’war, with anyone able to play regardless of age and ability.

There will also be a bouncy slide for children, a tombola and raffle with prizes that include a signed Hull City football and a signed Hull FC shirt.

The rugby club’s bar will be open for drinks and food, while there’ll also be an ice-cream van at the ground.

Matt’s sister Fiona said: “After the sucess of raising so much money last year for Matt’s birthday, my family and I have decided to do another fundraiser.

“This year we will be rasing money for The Samaritans who help thousands of people every year but receive little money.

“Entry is free, and all we ask is that you make a donation to the charity.”
