Skcin Annual Fundraiser Ball 2010
On Saturday 13th February 2010 Skcin held their 4th annual fundraiser ball at the East Midlands Conference Centre, Nottingham.
300 glamorous guests were welcomed to 'Viva Las Vegas' and enjoy a spectacular event comprising a red carpet champagne reception, a four course fine dining meal with wine, live entertainment from Campbell Bass singing songs from the Rat Pack era, a fabulous auction and feature entertainment from the award winning Gordon Hendricks performing live as Elvis with his 5 piece band and backing singers. A casino, stunning showgirls and oodles of glitz and glamour, made the evening yet another to remember. Importantly the charity raised over £27,000 which is a phenomenal achievement making the evening an overall huge success.
Skcin would like to thank all who attended and donated with such generosity.
