Craig Rawlinson Summer Ball 2017

The family and friends of Craig Rawlinson held a ball in his memory at the Southview Hotel, Skegness. This is the third year of the event to raise money to support the purchase of defibrillators in the local area and the charity Cardiac Risk in the Young (CRY).

Craig was only 18 when he passed away from an undiagnosed heart defect while football training in 2012.

Guests danced to live music from Soul Intention. An auction and raffle also helped raise more than £5,000 on the night.
