Grosvenor Casino Portsmouth Raises Money for Marie Curie

Raising money for charity is seen as a great way of helping others that are less fortunate than yourself. There are numerous charities in the UK that all specialise in different things, however one cancer charity has definitely struck lucky this week. The cancer charity that has hit the jackpot is Marie Curie Cancer Care and they have been the grateful receivers of a donation from the Portsmouth Grosvenor Casinos.

There are two different Grosvenor Casinos situated in Portsmouth – one on Osborne Road and the other in the Gunwharf Quays area. However, it was staff at the Grosvenor Casino Gunwharf Quays that handed over the impressive donation. In total this land-based Portsmouth Grosvenor Casino had raised an impressive £5,387 and they gave this to the cancer charity today (Thursday 2^nd February 2012).

Staff at the Grosvenor Portsmouth Casino raised this sum of money through various quizzes, different raffles and a range of sponsored activities, one of which include an interesting beard growing challenge.

The general manager at this Grosvenor Casino is Paul Brady and he lost his father to cancer a few years ago, therefore he knows as much as others that have either lost someone to this illness or are in fact suffering from it themselves how important charities like Marie Curie Cancer Care are.

Marie Curie aims to provide cancer suffers with the highest quality of care possible. In addition to that there are also nine Marie Curie Hospices located around the UK all of which provide expert care. To add to that this cancer charity is a leader in research into the best care possible for people with terminal illnesses.

By raising money through various events, this Portsmouth Grosvenor Casino needs to give themselves a well-deserved pat on the back, because without place such as this Grosvenor Casino raising money charities wouldn’t be able to function the way that they do.
