Help Southport fundraisers
call cancer's bluff
LOCAL cheese and wine lovers are
invited to a special 'Call my Bluff' themed tasting evening this month to
raise money for cancer research.
The Southport-based fundraising committee for North West Cancer Research will
hold the is event on Friday, 21 April 2017, at Hillside Golf Club, with all proceeds
donated to the charity, which funds life saving cancer research.
As well as raising money, guests will also raise a few glasses, as they sample
various wines and attempt to sort fact from fiction by guessing the correct wine
type from a panel of statements.
Tickets cost ₤20 and includes:- entry, 6 wine samples and a selection of
locally sourced cheeses, which have been paired with the wine choices.
Last year's event raised ₤1500 for North West Cancer Research. This year the
Liverpool branch of Barclaycard has agreed to match fund up to ₤1000 of the
money raised.
Olive Cutts, chair of the Southport Committee, said:- "Last year's
(2016) event
was great fun and we are expecting this year
(2017) to be even better.
We have already seen a positive response from the local community with over half
of tickets sold. With the help from Barclaycard Match Funding we will hopefully
raise even more money this year, for North West Cancer Research."
North West Cancer Research is the region's biggest funder of cancer research and
has committed to funding more than ₤11million worth of life saving cancer
research over the next 5 years.
The Call My Bluff cheese and wine evening starts from 7pm, on Friday, 21 April
2017, at Hillside Golf Club, Hillside, Southport, Merseyside.
