Once again the Devon Air Ambulance Trusts’ Grand Summer Draw has proved to be a major fundraiser for the Charity, this year contributing £55,000 to its work.
The lucky winner of the main prize was Jayne King of Exeter who drove away from the Charity’s airbase at Middlemoor with a brand new Mazda2 TS AC, provided by Vospers (with garages across Devon, including Plymouth).
The second prize of a lodge weekend break for six people at Bovey Castle was won by Derek and Aileen Boyce from Kingskerswell while Ian and Muriel MacMillan from Sidmouth took the third prize of a Calor Gas barbeque.
DAAT Fundraising Director Caroline Creer, said: “The Grand Summer Draw has become one of the more significant initiatives we undertake and makes a substantial contribution to our on-going fundraising efforts.
“We are once again very grateful to Peter Vosper, Bovey Castle and Calor Gas for their ongoing support for our draw but most of all we’d like to thank all the people of Devon and everyone who bought a draw ticket or simply made a donation in the knowledge that the money has gone to a really worthwhile cause.”
