We had an amazing response to our music event (JimJam) on 9th June, with almost 300 people attending a fantastic evening. The venue was actually where James and his band had previously played. Three bands kindly offered to play including one of James’s band members who made a solo appearance. We also held a raffle with some great prizes including a trip to Bruges for 3 days (James’s favourite place – purely because of the Belgian beer!) It obviously had a great impact on everyone as they are all asking for the event to be repeated next year.
Apart from it being a great fundraising event, we were able to spread the word about C.R.Y. – leaving leaflets on every table, but I think the most impact came when my eldest son Paul and myself took to the stage and explained what C.R.Y. meant to us and why we were doing this (very emotional moment).
We now have a total amount ready for donation to C.R.Y – almost £7,000!
