Douglas-based fund manager Creechurch Capital helped raise to £10,938 for two charities by sponsoring a local event.
The event, Hizzy’s Honour, was held at the Villa Marina to mark the 10th anniversary of the death of the former British Superbike Champion and 11-time winner of the Isle of Man TT, Steve Hislop.
To celebrate Steve’s life and his contribution to the world of motorsport, Steve’s former partner, Kelly Bailey, and their two sons, Aaron and Connor, arranged a charity evening as a tribute to their father.
The evening, which was held in association with Creechurch Capital, included a Q&A session with former British and World Super Bike Champion, Neil Hodgson, Ian Lougher, who holds the record for the most TT starts and the voice of TT Radio, Roy Moore.
There was also a charity auction, with many of the prizes donated by the sport’s most renowned riders, as well as a number of the evening’s guests.
The evening raised was shared between two charities that Steve supported during his years of motor racing, the Isle of Man Hyperbaric Chamber and the MGP Helicopter Fund (MGP Supporters Club Isle of Man).
Kelly Bailey, who organised the event on behalf of her sons, Aaron and Connor, said: ‘We had an amazing evening and raised a fantastic amount of money for two charities that Steve was proud to support.’
‘A lot of hard work went into organising this event, and with the help of our sponsor, Creechurch Capital, we managed to support two causes which I know Steve would have very been proud of.
#Myself and the boys have to say a big thank you to our sponsors, Mannin Media, Lee Watson and Tim Glover, for all their support.
Stewart Quayle, business development manager at Creechurch Capital added: ‘We were delighted to support Kelly, Aaron and Connor. The success of the evening was down to the hard work and commitment that Kelly put into organising the event and we are very proud that all her hard work paid off.’
