Quiz night secures fundraising target for Stronachs

A quiz night organised by Stronachs LLP has raised £4,800 for Friends of ANCHOR, taking the law firm beyond its target of raising £20,000 for the local charity.

More than 130 guests attended the firm’s event, which took place at Inn at the Park on Thursday, with Colin Slessor of popular TV programme The Mart taking on the role of quiz master.

The firm has been fundraising over the past year to support the charity’s efforts in recruiting a world-class cancer research team to the North East of Scotland.

More than £10,000 was raised during a ladies’ afternoon tea party organised by Stronachs last summer, with staff taking part in sporting events including The Anchor Wipeout Challenge, Ride the North, the Garioch half marathon and the Baker Hughes and Run Balmoral 10K races to supplement the funds.

Carol Crowther, partner and chair of Stronachs’ social & charities committee, said: “We are extremely pleased to reach our goal of raising £20,000 for Friends of ANCHOR. It’s taken a lot of hard work but it’s been a great privilege to support this inspirational charity and the work it does to help local cancer sufferers and their families.

“We would like to thank everyone who attended our quiz night and all of those who supported us throughout our campaign. Their donations, contributions and generosity have far exceeded our expectations.

“Finally, I’d like to thank the team at Stronachs who have gone above and beyond in their fundraising efforts and worked tirelessly to raise this significant sum to help Friends of ANCHOR deliver much needed services for those affected by cancer throughout the North-east.”
