Her
friend lost her 8 year old son, Charlie, in May of last year and his family
had set up a Memorial Fund in Charlie’s name to help CRY in their mission. I
didn’t hesitate to accept.
We had all read Charlie’s story in the local papers and
it was an honour to contribute to his memorial fund. If one child could be
saved due to a rise in awareness and a further injection of funds, then that
would be a fantastic contribution to society.
On Saturday, 1st March, 31 pupils at
Grooves
plus Hannah Holmes, the parent who nominated CRY, danced to a variety of
tracks in front of a hall full of supporters. Some of the dancers were only
2 years old!
We had a “heart” themed raffle and donations were given
for refreshments. Charlie’s family did us the honour of coming along to
support the event and the local press reported on it.
We are proud to announce that we raised £1,295 and
hope to add to this at our performances and events throughout this year.
