The Fitness First Stadium was the perfect host for a wondeful night, at which nearly £10,000 was raised for the Steve Bernard Foundation for distribution amongst its sponsored projects.
All of us at the Steve Bernard Foundation would like to thank everyone involved in making the night such a tremendous success. Almost £10,000 was raised on the night and this will contribute a tremendous amount towards what we are trying to do in Steve's memory. Click on any of the pictures to see photos from the night.
Scott Charlton gets the crowd involved.
In particular we would like to thank our two main sponsors for the evening, the Daily Echo and Remzi Eraskin of Falcon Catering. Without his help, and that of his family behind the scenes, the event would have been a shadow of what it was and we are wholeheartedly grateful for all the help and contacts he contributed.
The Fitness First Stadium, home of AFC Bournemouth, played host to an evening to raise money for the Steve Bernard Memorial Foundation last night.
‘Stevie B’ as he was affectionately known as, tragically lost his life in a car crash back in November last year.
Over 180 people turned up to support the event.
The evening, sponsored by the Daily Echo, was a huge success, with comedian Scott Charlton providing the entertainment with some hilarious material, and all for no fee.
A three course meal was followed by a moving tribute to Stevie from one of his closest friends Craig Mathie.
Stevie’s father Tony then thanked everyone for their support before an auction took place to raise more money for the Foundation.
An impressive array of football memorabilia was up for bids, with a Chelsea sweat band, in a frame, signed by their skipper John Terry, going for a staggering £1,050.
Arsenal’s first team squad signed one of their centenary shirts, which went for £750, a signed Chelsea shirt, signed by the whole first team went for £700 and, a Champions League winning first team squad signed Liverpool shirt went for £800.
The two highest prices were paid for a signed Real Madrid shirt, which raised £1,100 and, a gold Robbie Williams disc, signed by the man himself, which fetched no less than £1,200.
There was also a U2 frame, with four postcards of different albums and in the middle of the frame, signed by the four rock stars.
That went for £250.
