Story

Please note the raffle has now be drawn, all winners announced.

Please note :  You MUST add your name so if you win a prize we know who you are! No name, no prize. I have 6 anonymous donations already, so you cannot be entered into the raffle. If you think you are one of these anonymous donations, please contact me at chrispo.severn@gmail.com with your name, amount and date you made the donation.

Poul and I (Collette) lost our eldest son in a road traffic collision in March 2021, Christian James Severn. He was only 30 years old. We miss him every day, our family life has changed, forever. We are deeply sad, to our core. He was so loved by his fiancee, grandparents, brothers, sister, cousins and friends.

He was engaged to be married to Liza, who was making plans to move to the UK, from New York, once Covid rules were lifted. He had so much to live for.

At the time he passed we were unable to hold a wake or indeed a proper funeral for our son. This added to our pain and haunts us today. So we are hosting a Celebration of Life ceremony for him - Chrispo Fest 2022 - on 26th March. At Chrispo Fest we are holding a charity raffle to raise money for the Air Ambulance in his honour.

The Air Ambulance saved Christians life in 2005 when he was run over at just 15. If it wasn’t for their service, Christian would not have survived to live, laugh and love for nearly another 16 years. We are forever indebted to them.

We have been overwhelmed at the generosity of our friends and family, Christians' friends as well as both local and global companies that know us, with these FANTASTIC prizes.

HOW TO ENTER THE RAFFLE

Tickets are £2 each and available online only.

Please donate the amount in total for tickets you are purchasing. EG if you want 2 tickets you need to donate £4 and your name will then be added to the raffle twice, for 2 chances to win. You MUST add your name so if you win a prize we know who you are! No name, no prize.

Winners will be announced at Chrispo Fest 2022 on 26th March. We will also publish all winners on The Chrispo Fest Events Page on Facebook - link to follow.

If you are not attending the event, you will need to visit the event page and message the organiser with your phone number or email the organiser at chrispo.severn@gmail.com. You can also enter your number on the Just Giving page, but it will be visible to all, so you may prefer to contact the organiser privately.  

Please note, if you are buying tickets for someone else, please use their name and not your own, as this is how we will distinguish on the night - by names not numbers.
