Our Supporters and Sponsors
The 2008 Scarborough Light Parade and Static Display generated an impressive £2198.57 for the RNLI Scarborough Lifeboats in under 12 hours. Sponsors of the event enabled us to achieve this remarkable sum of money and we are truly grateful for their support.
As with all events, sponsors often come forward late in the year, so we hope the 2009 list of sponsors below, will grow as we get nearer to the event.
We have already received pledges of support for the 2009 Scarborough Light Parade and below are those who are helping us with their sponsorship so far this year.
Management of Cayton Bay Holiday Park have donated a Free Weekend Break in a Gold Caravan Prize to be taken in 2010. A great prize and we are delighted with the offer. There is also the possibility that the complex manager may contribute a suitable prize for the event.
Alan Mason, of Storm Embroidery, has announced he will donate one hundred 2009 Scarborough Light Parade Patches. Once again that’s a magnificent offer of support and we are delighted with his donation. The new 2009 patch is shown in the side panel of this page.
