The Leeds Rhinos Foundation would like to thank Stowe Family Law for their generous donation of £2,250 to the Foundation, which was facilitated by Leeds Rhinos favourite Danny McGuire in a novel ‘Bake Off’ fashion.
Marilyn Stowe, founder of Stowe Family Law and Leeds Rhinos fan, recently attended the Leeds Rhinos Foundation’s Fundraising Celebration Dinner. She purchased a 'VIP' table and was hosted by Danny McGuire and also made a further generous donation of £2000 after Danny agreed to arrange for a rugby ball to be signed by the first team for Marilyn and also attend the Stowe Family Law office 'Bake Off 2015' finale to be a judge the shortlisted cakes!
The finale took place at Stowe Family Law Harrogate office and staff from as far as Cheshire attended to meet Danny McGuire and enjoy the unique afternoon. Danny tasted an array of cakes and crowned executive assistant Chantal Wilkinson’s Sicilian Orange Cake the winner. Stowe Family Law kindly increased their donation to £2,250 and Marilyn was presented with the signed ball which she is going to give to her son as a gift. The ball will serve as a reminder to seek in life and work to replicate the perseverance and determination that the Leeds Rhinos display on the pitch.
Marilyn commented:
"It was absolutely fantastic to have Danny join us today and judge this year’s bake off finale at Stowe Family Law and we are so grateful that he took the time out of his holiday to make this day extra special for our team.
"As a huge Leeds Rhinos fan, I feel thrilled to have met Danny and connected with him again in this memorable way. Stowe Family Law are delighted to contribute to the excellent work of the Leeds Rhinos Foundation and look forward to following the work of the charity in the future as well as cheering Danny and the team on next season.”
Speaking at the event Danny said:
"As a Leeds Rhinos player it feels great when we are able to give back to our club’s charity, the Leeds Rhinos Foundation. The Foundation do great work across Leeds and donations from individuals, businesses and groups are paramount to this. It was lovely to see Marilyn and the team at Stowe Family Law again and cake tasting was- of course-an added bonus!”
The Leeds Rhinos Foundation would like to thank both Marilyn and Danny for their incredible support. At the Leeds Rhinos Foundation we are privileged to work with a team who are so generous in giving up their own time for the Foundation and this is a perfect example of one of our players really going the extra mile for our charity. Marilyn's donation contributes to the wide-ranging work of the Leeds Rhinos Foundation across Leeds and we hope to keep in touch with Marilyn and the team at Stowe Family Law.
