The dice were rolling and the roulette wheel spinning at a fund-raising Casino Night organised by Loadhog, Sheffields transit packaging manufacturer - one member of the Gripple family.
The £500 raised on the night was topped up by Loadhogs charity team which decided to donate a total of £1,700 to Sheffield Royal Society for the Blind (SRSB) and £300 for Maltby Lions Club.
Gambling on the night were more than 100 staff from other members of the parent group, including Gripple itself, Gripple Automation, PMS Diecasting and GoTools, Also playing the games were representatives from several of the groups suppliers.
Sue Coggin, from the SRSB, said: This was an exciting and fun way to raise funds and we are delighted that so many members of the Gripple family supported the night. We are grateful to Loadhog for arranging the night. The money will be put to good use for blind and partially sighted people
This year Loadhog has donated £1,200 to four other charities - the Revive Café, which supports Sheffields homeless; the Include Foundation, which helps the citys vulnerable young people; Rotherham Hospice, to help bereaved youngsters and Chesterfields Ashgate Hospicecare, to fund a device to ease patients pain.
