A host of guests attended the annual Dante festival Charity Lunch to raise funds for CF Care. They were treated to a champagne reception, a stunning lunch and afternoon tea. All this took place  from the comfort of the Dante suite with its private terraced viewing area.

The fun started with a spirited game of Heads or Tails in which the winner took home a 2 night stay at the newly refurbished Langdale Chase Hotel and second prize received a spa day at Rudding Park.

Heads or Tails – down to the last few

The diners were given tips by Mike Cattermole and ITV Racing’s Ed Chamberlin.

There was much competition for the fabulous array of auction prizes, which included an amazing offer of hospitality on a luxury Yacht at the Monaco Grand Prix and a case of vintage wine, amongst others. The final outcome for the day being nearly £65000 added to the funds of Cystic Fibrosis Care which will go to help people with Cystic Fibrosis who are in need.

C F Care would like to thank Christy and Sasha York, for organising the lunch again this year, everyone who came and participated and were so generous, and the staff of York racecourse who made it such a special day.
