!! What's New !! - !! Gala Fundraising Dinner - Saturday 27th September 2008 !!
Developing upon our previously successful parent & family days, this year we are doing something a little different. To assist us in achieving our research objectives we are holding a Gala Fundraising Dinner!
The date for the dinner is Saturday 27th September 2008, and the venue is the Heathrow Marriott Hotel. Tickets are now on sale at £55 a head, and full details of how to purchase your tickets are available here. The evening will include a 3-course meal, raffle, first class entertainment, and an auction where you will be able to bid for such items as a weekend's exclusive use of an Aston Martin, or afternoon tea at the House of Commons. We've managed to obtain some truly exceptional auction items, but do really need more donations for the auction. If you have any contacts & are able to help, please contact the FOLKS Committee.
The dinner will give parents the opportunity to meet with like-minded people, have some fun, and raise monies for FOLKS to help us with our research goals.
