OMS Fundraising Lunch Tim and Tony
Sussex PR boss hosts charity fundraiser at The Amex
After a break of four years, the Overcoming Multiple Sclerosis (OMS) lunch is back on the menu at The Amex on Thursday November 2.
Brighton football club owner Tony Bloom will be doing a Q+A with lunch organiser and Sussex businessman, Tim Cobb. OMS chief executive Alex Holden will explain about the great work that the charity is doing to support people with MS.
An amazing 15 tables have already been sold and Tim hopes to welcome more than 200 people to the event. “The response from the business community has been overwhelming,” Tim said. “I was not sure if there was still an appetite for this type of event, so I have been bowled over by the welcome from business friends old and new.”
Tim has linked up with the county’s three key networking groups to further promote the event. County Business Clubs, Network My Club and Best of British have all agreed to start marketing the event.
“Their support means a lot to me,” Tim continued. “They had no hesitation in offering their services, and that was just incredible.”
Handelsbanken has come forward as the first sponsor, and three more categories are up for grabs. Sponsors will get a name-check in all promotional literature, a front-row table and a chance to chat to, and have photos with, Tony Bloom.
Tim was diagnosed with MS in 2012 and found great support and encouragement from Overcoming MS and its chair, Linda Bloom.
“Many people will know, or know of, Brighton football club owner Tony Bloom,” Tim said. “What they will not be aware of is that Tony’s wife Linda founded Overcoming MS 10 years ago. Today as President of the organisation, Linda and the OMS team continue to support and give hope to thousands of people around the world struggling with this debilitating and degenerative disease.
“I would like to show my gratitude to Overcoming MS for the incredible work it does for those with MS by organising a fundraising lunch at The Amex on Thursday November 2,” he explained.
The football club is also throwing its weight behind the lunch by promoting the event to fans.
