A football match at Culbokie last weekend was a hit with locals as £1250 was raised for two groups.
Kirsty Littlejohn organised the event as part of her fundraising for Strictly Inverness.
She is a comeptitior in the annual charity competition, which sees comeptitors raise money for the Highland Hospice and Inverness Ice Centre.
Despite the snow, a large crowd gathered to watch two matches which led to the grand final.
Ms Littlejohn said she was delighted with the event: "It was really nice to have all the community to come together and everybody came out to support me.
"I want to thank everyone for donating because I didn't expect to raise that much money. Thanks as well to the people who donated raffle prizes. It was such good fun.”
Four teams were made up from friends and family who had reached out to take part in the event, with Team Green taking the top prize.
There was also home baking, a raffle, a bottle stall and face painting to provide entertainment for everyone.
Ms Littlejohn was joined by dance partner Bradley Duke - the pair train three times a week in preparation for the event in May.
