Tonight’s surprise performer:
Susie Kimber & Ian Close
A buzzing Thomas Tripp hosted the 21st event of the Christchurch Living Advent Calendar.
Susie Kimber, accompanied by saxophonist Ian Close, entertained the packed bar with a popular mix of upbeat numbers including some Queen, Billy Ocean, ABBA and Lionel Richie to name a few. Popular Christmas songs were also included. She had her audience bopping, clapping and singing along.
Joint sponsors for the evening, Gervis Accountants and the Primrose Trust, presented Sue from Christchurch Cancer Research with a cheque for £500. All money donated goes to the research centre in Southampton.
MC Peter Boardman thanked everyone for supporting the evening, The Primrose Trust as the events’ main sponsors and Rotarian Jan Banks and the CLAC team for organising.
Tomorrow’s event will be at the Red House Museum – see you all there!
Raising money for:
Christchurch Cancer Research
You can be confident that all money raised by Cancer Research UK will be spent wisely as 80p out of every £1 donated goes directly towards the life-saving work of preventing and curing all cancers. The remaining 20p is reinvested in fundraising where we get back £4 for every £1 we spend. With over 200 different types of cancer the research to find successful outcomes for people with cancer is vital. Compared with 40 years ago, cancer survival rates have doubled, and our work has been at the heart of that progress.
For 2022 and 2023 Christchurch Fundraising Group have nominated our Regional Research Centre in Southampton to receive all money donated through our fundraising. Find out more at:
