A BLACK tie dinner in aid of the Royal National Lifeboat Institute (RNLI) raised £3,200.
Organisers Stokesley and Ayton Ladies Lifeboat Guild said they were thrilled with the total.
The event was held at Cleveland Lodge, Great Ayton, the home of Andrew Ward and his wife.
Members of the guild's committee prepared food for 85 guests.
They were also treated to jazz and blues music from the Gill Matthews Band.
Guild chairwoman Susan Bye said: "I keep pinching myself and wondering if it can really be true that we raised this total.
"It was a great evening and there were a lot of appreciative comments about the quality of the food."
