The 2013 Otley Town Mayor's Grand Charity Ball has raised £1,700 for three good causes.
Councillor Mary Vickers (Lib Dem, Prince Henry) described the event, held at the Hollins Hall Hotel in Baildon on April 19, as a "fantastic success".
Representatives of the three charities being supported during her mayoral year, Leeds General Infirmary’s Breast Cancer Research Action Group, the Sylvia Wright Trust and St James’ Hospital’s cleft palate service, attended the ball.
Coun Vickers, who was accompanied by mayor's consort Councillor Jim Spencer (Lib Dem, West Chevin), said: "It was a very successful and enjoyable evening and we were really pleased with how much was raised for the charities."
Nearly 100 people, including politicians, surgeons from the hospitals, Otley’s new Parish Priest Father Lawrie Hulme, supported the event.
