SOCIAL SCENE

Fancy dress
charity bash
for nurses
V

ikings and Thundercats, Kings and Queens, big
boys dressed as babies, cavemen and flappers
were just a few of the many ‘celebrities’ who turned
out in force for the annual Fancy Dress Charity Fun
Night to raise money for the Breast Care Nurses
Fund at St Mary’s Hospital, Newport.
There was a truly amazing array of costumes for
the fancy dress which had the theme ‘Back in Time’.
The event, with a disco, auction and raffle was held at
Holliers Hotel, Shanklin Old Village. It was organised
by Jamie White in memory of his mother who died
of breast cancer three years ago, and raised around
£4,850 for the Breast Care Nurses Charity.
Jamie said: “I was overwhelmed with the fantastic
response and support we received. So many people
made such a great effort for a very deserving
cause. I would like to thank local businesses and
individuals for their wonderful sponsorship,
donations, prizes and items for the auction. It
simply would not have been possible without them,
and on the night everyone was so generous which
enabled us to raise so much money.”
