Adele Stacey, deputy general manager at Moors Manor Care Home, said: "Taking part was fun for everyone and it was lovely to see so many familiar faces at the event.
"It’s for such important causes in our local community and I’m very glad we were able to do our bit to raise further awareness and money for both organisations."
The event was organised by West Moors Town Council and was the first of its kind.
Organisers hope that it will now become an annual fundraiser.
