LOCAL COMMUNITY WMC's FANTASTIC DONATION EVENTS FOR PROSTATE CANCER RESEARCH 

 

Charity soul would like to say a big thank you to two community WMC's who have held fundraising soul music nights for Prostate Cancer 

research. These closely knit community clubs moved heaven and earth to organise these well attended events for at which members of 

Charity Soul were also in attendance.

The fundraising started sequence started here:

 

SHAFTON WMC . BARNSLEY Friday 2nd February 

 Chartiy Soul were invited, through Tim Michaels of Next PLC (Doncaster) and Melvin Colbourne, to assist in the running of a fundraising event

at this local club. Our role was to supply equipment and play music for the evenings entertainment which would be accompanied by 'Horse Race Meeting'

The evening was fantastically supported by the local populus with in the words of club steward ".... t'clubs full to bustin' " .

A great night was had by all with some fabulous raffl prizes donated, even better was the total amount on money raised during the evening

This amounted to a whopping £1,028.00, which was beyond our expectation, as the entry to the nights entertainment was free. This figure was rounded

up to £1,100.00 by club steward Peter Makinson.

A wonderful gesture and it rounded off a great night

 

And so on County Durham.

 

COMRADES CLUB, HOUGHTON -LE - SPRING, Nr SUNDERLAND Saturday 17th Februarary

This lovely little club has supported Charity Soul with numerous fundraising events in the past, and another event was organised for us. Dave 

and Jenni Johnson represented Charity Soul at this Tamala Motown fundraiser, having been invited by Muriel Coxon, one of our North East

fundraiser volunteers.

This club was well supported in fundraisng efforts with dj's and people travelling from as far as Middlesbrough to be part of the entertainment.

Our thanks must go to everyone for making this event a success, but especially to Sandra and Muriel, who worked tirelessly through out the evening

 

 

Again this tighly knit community club came up trumps with a brilliant evenings entertainment with the dj's playing a great

mix of music for the attendee's. It must be stressed that all the dj's gave the evenings work for no monetary reward, just the 

fact they wanted to help with our cause. The donations for the night were supplemented with a raffle of a framed soul picture

donated by famous soul artist Graham Fairhurst, a keen supporter of Charity Soul. Total donations for evening amounted to 

£755.00 for which everybody was 'over the moon' 

 

So on behalf of all members of Charity Soul a big big thank you to all concerned
