Brighton and Hove Soiree Rotary Club launch a Midsummer Auction supporting local charities, Martlets and MNDA (East Sussex branch)
The online auction will raise vital funds to support local research into Motor Neurone Disease and care for patients with MND in our community.
The Brighton and Hove Soiree Rotary Club has launched a Midsummer Online Auction to raise funds to raise funds for two important local charities supporting people with Motor Neurone Disease (MND). Motor Neurone Disease is a neurological condition that can affect any one of us at any time. In fact, in the UK, six people are diagnosed each day and sadly six people die each day. The cause is unknown and as yet there is no cure.
Funds raised will be distributed to the MND Association (East Sussex branch), Martlets Hospice - the local charity supporting those with terminal illness and their loved ones, and B&H Soiree Rotary with its long-held tradition of distributing funds to both local and international charities.
The online auction is now live and will run until July 3rd.
You could bid to be driven through the countryside in a beautifully restored 1911 Rolls Royce Silver Ghost or for the exclusive wellbeing holiday in St Lucia. For cricket fans there’s a RL50 match at Sussex and a behind the scenes tour at Lord’s. Maybe you would like to commission a family portrait or see Handel’s opera, Alcina in the Executive Chairman’s Box at Glyndebourne, or enjoy tea at the House of Lords. With 40 Lots to choose from there is literally something for everyone.
The Midsummer Auction also features a very special Prize Draw donated by Brewers where you have the chance to win a holiday for 6 in a Parkdean Holiday Lodge. Tickets are just £10
Christine Wicks,a member of the B&H Soiree Rotary Club, has inspired the partner with the local charities to deliver this exciting event. “Raising funds for these important causes is very close to my heart. I sadly lost my husband to MND in (2018). It was a heart-breaking time for me, all the family and our friends. We were so grateful for the unwavering support of our local MND Association as well as the care that was provided by Martlets”.
