Nearly £600 was raised for the Mayor of Sandwell's charities at the West Bromwich Community Awards night.
And today the Mayor Councillor Ahmadul Haque MBE received the cheque for £592.70 from West Bromwich town lead Councillor Steve Melia.
The money was raised through an auction and donations during the awards ceremony at West Bromwich Town Hall earlier this month (December).
The Mayor is raising money this year for the Midlands Air Ambulance Charity and Your Trust Charity, run by Sandwell and West Birmingham Hospitals NHS Trust, specifically raising money for cancer services and research.
Councillor Haque said: "I would like to say a huge thank you to everyone in West Bromwich who gave donations or took part in the auction at the awards evening to help raise money for these two very important charities."
