It was a record-breaking night for the 24th annual Celebrity Night in Raleigh County.

Local celebrities filled in for servers at several area restaurants to raise money for the Women's Resource Center and United Way of Southern West Virginia.

According to Executive Director of the United Way Margaret O'Neal, tips collected at Celebrity Night totalled more than $30 thousand thanks to generous donations from diners.

"Last night was awesome. We get more excited every year. Just when you think there's no way the community can step it up and come close to what we did last year, they did it again. We had an amazing night," said O'Neal.

Last year's Celebrity Night raised around $30 thousand.
