FRIENDS, family and celebrities teamed up for a charitable night to remember.

The owner of women's clothes shops, Ibizaar, on London Road, Stockton Heath, and Pink Flamingo, Warrington, organised the second annual fashion show and auction evening to raise money for St Rocco's Hospice.

Around 300 people passed through the doors of Viper Lounge, Stockton Heath, on April 21 to listen to a talk from St Rocco's Hospice fundraisers and to dig deep into their pockets for the cause.

Former T4 presenter Anthony Crank and Manchester City defender Richard Dunne helped to encourage the crowds to make the most of the fashion show.

Joanna Kreisler, shop owner, organised the event to give money back to the hospice where her dad died nine years ago of a brain tumour.

She said that Ibizaar's co-owner, Paula Fogg, and her partner, Darren Nogeurol, also had personal experiences of the illness within their families.

She said: "We got amazing support. My family were really proud. It was a real family affair. I'd just like to thank everybody who contributed."

The total amount from the event currently stands at £1,500.
