The Chamber Annual Dinner held at Durham Cathedral last week raised £50,172 for the UNESCO World Heritage Site.
Hosted by the North East England Chamber of Commerce, the event welcomed over 800 regional business leaders and saw the North East landmark transformed for the occasion. The Chamber Annual Dinner is supported by patrons Gateshead College, Business Durham, Pulsant and Durham University.
John McCabe, chief executive, said: “The cathedral is the embodiment of our special region – this unique building has stood the test of time and it will endure for generations to come. It’s particularly important to us all that we’re able to support the cathedral’s work with our fundraising through tickets and sponsorship.”
