Saturday 30th September saw Vixstars Events host a charity ball at Holiday Inn in Peterborough. With nearly 250 attendees the night was close to being a sell-out & great fun was had by all – some even asking if one can be organised again next year!

The night started with an arrival drink & the chance for guests to view the silent auction prizes, along with purchasing raffle tickets & entering the ‘Win a Bottle’ tombola. We had some fantastic auction & raffle prizes that had been donated by both local & international businesses. Guests then took their seats at their table to enjoy a 3-course meal followed by tea/coffee.
Shortly after dinner had finished Nicole Lawrence, a previous X Factor contestant in 2009, took to the stage & got the party started. She had a brief interval in her performance for the raffle to be drawn but otherwise everyone was up & dancing the night away – ending in some very sore feet!
It was great to see some of our VHL family there, with 9 attendees being VHL patients themselves.
The event was a huge success & over £12,500 was raised to be split between the two charities. We feel so proud & are truly grateful for everyone’s support before & during the night. A special thanks goes to Victoria Foulkes-Arnold of Vixstars Events & Roxanne Bonin, Frankie Goddard & all the staff at Holiday Inn Peterborough-West who helped on the night.
