- Travel firm helps out at Dunfermline fundraising event -
Barrhead Travel in partnership with Continental Airlines helped Dunfermline-based Mary Leishman Foundation raise over £20,000 at a fundraising dinner held last month.
Scotland’s largest independent travel agency, with a branch located beside Tesco at Duloch Park, teamed up with Continental Airlines to donate a prize of a trip to New York for the raffle during the event held in Dunfermline’s Glen Pavillion. Continental provided 2 return tickets from Edinburgh and Barrhead Travel donated four nights’ accommodation in New York.
The Ball was organised by the Mary Leishman Foundation as part of its ongoing commitment to raise funds for deserving causes throughout Scotland.
Set up in 2009 by Dunfermline’s director of football Jim Leishman in memory of his wife, the Foundation supports charities, organisations and individuals throughout Scotland
Jim said: “Mary was a big inspiration to everyone she met and brought boundless enthusiasm to everything she did. Mary's closest friends and I decided the best way to celebrate her life would be to carry her legacy on by creating a charitable foundation in her name.
“The Mary Leishman Foundation aims to “Encourage Potential and Ease Distress”
Barrhead Travel chief executive Sharon Munro said: “The Mary Leishman Foundation provides vital support to charities throughout Scotland and Barrhead Travel is committed to supporting such deserving causes. We were delighted to be able to donate a prize to the raffle and help the Foundation raise such a significant amount of money on the night.”
Tom Sneddon, Continental Airlines’ Sales Manager Scotland, said: “We welcome the opportunity to show our support for the local community and to contribute to such a worthy cause.”
