CHESHIRE Jets ace Chez Marks helped launch the team’s latest fundraising initiative.

The Jets have joined thebestofchester to launch the black tie charity ball, to take place on October 8 in Chester Racecourse.

The target is to raise £16,000, with all proceeds going to help Claire House children’s hospice. Chez said he hoped the ball would improve on the success of last year’s fundraiser.

He said: “I am glad to be part of this. We all came out and showed our support last year for Claire House.

“The most important thing for this year is to make it bigger and better, that’s the main goal.”
