The Hotel also donated €2 in the name of every patron who enjoyed the four course meal at their lavish Lighting Ceremony, boosting the total sum to €206.
€307 were also raised for Beyond the Moon through a raffle held at the HSBC Call Centre in Swatar, where participants were given the chance to win and purchase meals, stays and spa treatments at the Corinthia Palace Hotel & Spa.
Finally, another €1,520 was raised for Beyond the Moon by the Serve for Kids 3, an annual tennis tournament organised by Jacqueline Cutajar and Nella Valencia. The cheque was presented to Marisa Xuereb, a representative of Beyond the Moon, at the Hotel.
All the raffle winners were presented with their gifts at the Raffle Winners' Drinks held at the Hotel on Tuesday 9th December.
