As well as recognising the best of the vaping community, the award ceremony is being held to raise money for two great charities - Nora’s Dream and Help For Heroes and details about these two charities can be found on Pages 26 & 30 in this magazine. Proceeds from the night will be donated equally between the two charities and the event will also include a a huge charity auction to raise money for both causes. We have lots of prizes on offer for the auction but there is still time for people to donate charity auction prizes and help with these amazingly good causes. For information on how to donate a prize or if there is anything at all you want to know about the Vapouround Awards then contact [email protected] and we will get back to you. We are proud to be part of the international vaping community and it is important to celebrate the great strides which have been made in vaping both in terms of hardware and the juices now available. Events like this also help highlight what can happen when a community comes together to do good things for great causes and we know everyone will do their best to make the charity auction a huge success. In deciding to hold the Vapouround Awards we also wanted to put on an event where members of the vaping community could come together in a relaxed environment to have fun and enjoy themselves as well as paying tribute to those whose hard work and dedication has led to them being recognised with an award. Although we are organising the awards we are not judging them and that task has been left to an independent task of industry experts who will decide the winners in each category. We are really looking forward to this event - it should really be a huge night to remember - and we would love to see you there.
