R Charity Ball raises
£35,000 towards the £10million appeal
THE Royal Liverpool and Broadgreen
University Hospital NHS Trust's R Charity hosted the most prestigious event in
their history this month, the R Charity Ball.
The R Charity Ball, was the 1st function to be held in the brand new event
suite in Liverpool Football Club's (LFC) stadium, the venue provided the perfect
setting for the lively evening of fundraising and celebrations. Thanks to the
contributors and supporters of the event the R Charity Ball managed to raise
over £35,000 towards the £10million appeal. R Charity's £10million appeal aims to ensure
that the new Royal goes beyond even the NHS promise of care. The appeal will
enable our Hospital to deliver the latest high technology equipment for
diagnoses and treatments, and create environments that provide fantastic
comforts and conveniences for patients and families.
The ball was hosted by local radio DJ Simon Ross and local comedienne Pauline
Daniels, who is also a keen supporter of R Charity. Entertainment throughout the
night included:- a luxury auction which saw guests bidding on prizes with tea
on the terrace at the House of Commons for 2, theatre tickets with hotel stays
and signed sporting memorabilia from football and boxing athletes.
A raffle also took place with gifts donated from a variety of local
organisations including an overnight stay at the Marriot Hotel; a meal for 4 at
Gusto restaurant and a cocktail masterclass at 'Red Door' were some of the
fantastic prizes.
The Lord Mayor of Liverpool Cllr Roz Gladden and LFC football legend David
Johnson were amongst some of the guests who enjoyed performances from MD
Productions.
Kate Mylchreest Head of Fundraising said:- "I am really proud to be a
part of R Charity and the £10 million appeal. Together we will make a difference
to healthcare in Liverpool. The ball was a fantastic event and was very well
attended; the money raised from R Charity Ball will make a vital difference to
much needed equipment which will enable our new Royal Hospital to provide an
enhanced service to the people of our community for now and for years to come."
