For those of you who remember last August, the events team kicked off their first fundraiser with a Charity Evening at Pastiche Bistro in Hanley, raising over £1000.
This year our major fundraising is centred around two events in summer. It began with a benefit night at The Club, Hillcrest Street, Hanley, on Friday 22nd June, where we launched a prize draw. The draw will take place on Saturday 11th August, at Tilstock Airfield, Shropshire, when two of our supporters, Ruby, form The Club, and Russell, a volunteer, will be making a sponsored parachute jump.
Please try and support these fundraisers. Raffle tickets and sponsorship forms will be available by mid June. I’m sure for those of you who know Ruby, will enjoy her decent from 10,000 feet. Watch out for the new outfit!!!!!
The proceeds from these events are going to our Support Fund, which provides small grants for clients in immediate financial need. Every penny raised from fundraising goes directly to benefiting those living with HIV or AIDS. Administration costs are met through separate specific funding.
For further information or if you are able to help with raffle prizes or sponsors please call me at the Hanley Centre on (01782) 201257 Or you can email us at ask@staffordshirebuddies.co.uk
