The Mercury's digital sales specialist Danielle Long hosted a fundraiser on Weston's Grand Pier for the Huntington's Disease Association, which raised £6,630.90 thanks to a £3,000 top up from the paper's owner, Archant.
Guests were entertained with live music from The Tritones and took part in an auction and raffle to win more than 30 prizes donated from local businesses.
Ms Long said: "Huntington's is a generic disease which runs in my family; there is currently no cure for the disease.
"This will allow research to carry on and get to the point where we can find a cure for this hideous disease.
