The final amount raised by Malton Motor Club for Calder Rally Rescue through their fundraising auction on Friday 3 August has reached £3,726.52p.
Earlier this week the total had been at the £3,400 mark but after receiving late donations and people generously paying above their bids, the final count eventually rose to stand at £3,726.52p that has now been presented to Calder Rally Rescue.
The amount raised has ensured that the rescue unit can now buy a new ambulance to continue their vital work in the sport.
MMC member and auction organiser Nicola Harper said: “I’m so pleased we managed to raise so much money for Calder. I can’t get over how generous everyone was.”
Around 90 lots were auctioned off in the event hosted by Sky News Sports presenter Jon Desborough nearly two weeks ago at the Fairfield Manor Hotel near York.
Items that were sold included T-shirts signed by former World Rally Champions Colin McRae and Petter Solberg and a day’s testing with driver Ryan Champion, with money collected from a raffle also going towards the cause.
