Rose Opera Extravaganza Raises an Impressive £20,000
The Alexandra Rose Charities (ARC) today confirmed that its recent Rose Opera Extravaganza event raised a staggering £20,000 as 125 guests ‘dug deep’ to support the charity. The total amount collected was thanks to the ‘prizes money can’t buy’ auction, the Lady Grade Pink Raffle and advance ticket sales.
Not only did attendees thoroughly enjoy the evening’s performances by The London Festival Opera but they also fully embraced the opportunity to bid for some highly sought after lots in the auction - such as a one week stay in a 5-bedroomed property in the Western Cape of South Africa, a private box at the Royal Albert Hall to see Eric Clapton perform and an opportunity to charter a luxury yacht, which was donated on the evening itself.
"We are overwhelmed at the generosity that we have seen given these financially challenging times and have been delighted by the positive feedback that we have received from those that attended," said Margaret Stock, National Director for ARC. "It was a spectacular turn out and the amount raised was far more than we had thought would be possible. We really are very grateful to those that gave us their time, effort and cash to make the Rose Opera Extravaganza the success that it was. My only concern now is how to make the next one even better; which is a nice problem to have!"
