FENSTANTON-based Dairy Crest has become the latest business to support a �fundraising ball in aid of the special care baby unit at Hinchingbrooke Hospital.
The firm is sponsoring the ball, which is in aid of The Hunts Post’s New Life Appeal, and joins the Marriott Hotel, in Huntingdon, Solopress, Dreamdrops on a long list of firms and groups backing the event.
The ball will take place at the Marriott Hotel on April 2 – it was moved from Cambridge Golf and Conference Centre, in Hemingford Abbots, to allow more people to attend.
The event is being organised by Teresa Hicks, whose twins were born prematurely and were cared for at the unit.
She said she had been overwhelmed by the response to the ball so far, and was delighted with the financial support from Dairy Crest.
Teresa said: “Dairy Crest has been fantastic with its support for the ball and will allow us to donate even more money to the special care baby unit at Hinchingbrooke Hospital.
