SALES of a charity firework have created a real buzz for Kirkwood Hospice.
Black Cat and Standard Fireworks sold the Golden Bees firework at £1 each at the factory shop during the 2010 Bonfire Night Period and donated 100% of the sales to the Dalton hospice.
The Huddersfield-based firework supplier is a keen supporter of the hospice and since launching the campaign in 2009 Standard Fireworks has now raised a total of £8,350.
The Golden Bees sales totalled £3,700.
Austin Brown, general manager at Black Cat and Standard Fireworks said: “We would like to thank everyone who supported us in 2009 and 2010 by purchasing the charity firework and we are proud to support Kirkwood Hospice again for 2011 – the care and support they offer to people within the Kirklees area is invaluable.”
Kate Leadbeater, hospice community fundraiser, added: “We are very grateful to Black Cat and Standard Fireworks for their continued support, it is rare to receive such a large donation for two years in a row.
“Every penny will help the hospice.”
