NEARLY �2,750 was presented to Sue Ryder Care by Fenmarc Produce, to mark the end of a two-month fundraising campaign.
Staff at the March-based factory stepped up to the charity's Big Wigs Challenge by holding various events - including a charity football tournament - and by taking part in a 10km midnight walk.
In total, �2,742.12 was raised for the charity's Thorpe Hall Hospice in Peterborough.
Emma Long, Sue Ryder Care fundraiser from Thorpe Hall, visited Fenmarc last Thursday to accept the cheque.
Kristi Glowacki, Fenmarc's training administrator who organised the campaign and presented the cheque, said: "The Sue Ryder Big Wigs challenge has truly been a challenge especially in the current economic climate.
"But, with the support and enthusiasm from the Fenmarc front office team and generous suppliers in the area, we have made a fantastic amount of money for this fantastic local charity which could affect any one of us and had some fun at the same time.
