Hitting The High Notes For Cancer Research
Issued on behalf of Cancer Research Wales
A welsh cancer charity is kicking off it’s year-long calendar of fundraising activities with a Karaoke evening that promises to hit all the right notes-and hopefully a few high ones too.
Cancer Research Wales will be holding a Karaoke Night at KR’s Cabaret Club in Barry Island on Saturday 16 February, with all proceeds from the ticket price and monies raised going towards the funding of ground-breaking cancer research projects throughout Wales.
Cancer Research Wales, Assistant Fundraiser, Sally Anthony said: “This thrilling event, will give the public the chance to belt out the tunes like Whitney Houston or croon like Frank Sinatra. With a host of top prizes up for grabs, karaoke entrants can even dress the part if they wish to.”
“We’ve had a lot of interest in this event. The welsh people are fantastic – the level of support we receive shows just how strongly the public feel about cancer research.”
Yet Sally’s hard work doesn’t stop there. She is currently in training around the roads of her home in Lllantwit Fardre, for the mammoth task of April’s London Marathon. Sally was chosen as one of five ‘Golden Bond’ runners who will run the 26.2 miles around London for the charity.
Liz Andrews, Deputy Charity Director for Fundraising at Cancer Research Wales and Sally’s colleague said: “Thanks to the commitment of all our fundraisers, Cancer Research Wales can continue to provide funding for vital and pioneering research into cancer and its treatments in Wales.
“Everyone at Cancer Research Wales is in full support of Sally and her fellow London Marathon runners.”
All entrants to the Cancer Research Wales Karaoke competition are welcomed on or before the night, yet early entry is advised to avoid disappointment. Tickets are priced at £12.00 each (including an evening meal) and are available direct from KR’s Cabaret Club in Barry Island or by calling Cancer Research Wales on 02920 316976.
