A LAW firm turned £50 into more than £10,000 for Manorlands.
Walker Foster Solicitors won a fundraising challenge posed by the Oxenhope Sue Ryder hospice, to transform an initial investment.
The firm staged a charity auction dinner at the Rendezvous Hotel in Skipton.
Journalist and BBC Look North presenter Harry Gration ran the auction and the evening was compered by Stray FM breakfast DJs Nick Hancock and Will Smith.
"Although the evening took a lot of planning it was all worthwhile," said Liz Scott, head of marketing at Walker Foster Solicitors.
"Many businesses came out to support us on the night and it is thanks to the generosity of these and other firms that we had such wonderful auction and raffle prizes!"
The challenge result was subsequently announced at an awards ceremony in Bradford.
"We are thrilled to be winners," said Liz, who also received a personal ambassador award from the hospice.
Walker Foster Solicitors has offices in Silsden, Skipton, Ilkley and Barnoldswick.
