Auction night a success!

14.11.2012

It was a night to remember in the Gorgie Suite as Hearts supporters helped to raise thousands of pounds through a special auction.

With an auction, silent auction, raffle and photos with the Scottish Cup on offer, over 300 fans piled into the Gorgie Suite last night to part with their hard earned and raise funds for the club.

Hearts is therefore delighted to announce that £13,776 was raised thanks to the generosity of those who attended. Also on last night was the U20s game, which raised a further £5,728 in entry donations. In total, a marvellous £19,504 was made on the night.

This money will be will be donated to the club, which will purchase shares to be held in HYDC's name.

The club would like to congratulate Gary Cowan, Jim Steedman, Alan Wightly, Steven Lees, Charlie Bain, James Donaldson, Lynn Henderson, David Sharp, Ian Purdie, Margaret Brown, Hugh Simpson, Ricky Borthwick, Anthony Yannette, William Hill, Graham Anderson, Stevie Gilroy, Gary McKay Henderson, Ian Binning, Robert Henderson, John Murray, Reg Young, Alex MacDonald, Jim McLean, Colin Wallace, Chris Simm, Scott Campbell and Marius Zaliukas on their winning bids and raffle tickets.

Gratitude is also extended to HMFC staff members, Julie Hogg, Diane Darling, Colin Lindsay, Ricky Borthwick, Kenny Law, the family of Wallace Mercer, George Hutchison, Sir Chris Hoy, Marius Zaliukas, Keith Carolyn, Gordon Russell, Chris Avinou, Alex Turner, HMFC archivists, Edgaras Jankauskas, Colin Simpson, Audrey Whitehead, David Watson, Tom Atkinson, Mark's Designer Cakes, Mike Buckle, Scott Wilson and Eric McCowat. Without your generous prize donations, there would have been no auction or raffle night at all.
