It was eyes down and dabber pens at the ready for students and families from Royal Harbour Academy in Ramsgate this month for a fundraising bingo night and raffle.
The event, held at the Upper School site, was to raise funds for the Year 11 Prom. Thanks to the incredible support from everyone who attended and contributed, an impressive £1,623 was made on the night.
With 150 people attending the evening was filled with fun, laughter, and excitement. Mr Wall was the bingo caller for the evening—keeping the energy high and the crowd entertained with his enthusiasm and great sense of humour.
The night also featured prizes generously donated, including tickets to Revolution Skatepark, vouchers for Stonelees Golf, a one-year membership to Monkton Nature Reserve, a signed Ramsgate football t-shirt, two family passes to Rascal Bay Adventure Golf, tickets to Gillingham Ice Skating, a Rage Room experience and a Pawsome Puppy Yoga session. There were also massage and hairdressing vouchers, afternoon tea and more.
A school spokesperson said: “We would also like to extend a thank you to all the businesses and individuals who kindly donated prizes, including Ramsgate Football Club, McDonald’s, Chapel House, Margate Caves, Restore and Bloom, Dartful Barbers, and many more. Your generosity played a huge part in the night’s success and has brought us one step closer to creating an unforgettable Prom for our Year 11 students.
“We would like to give a massive thank you to all the staff involved in helping the night run so smoothly.”
The money raised will go directly to making Prom a special night for RHA Year 11s, a chance to celebrate everything they’ve achieved and to send them off in style as they move on to their next chapter.
