Now in its 6th year and the most important event in Glasgow's Social Diary, boasting the cream of Glasgow's business community as guests and patrons! Organiser, Derek McEwan, has raised in excess of £70,000 in memory of his mother, Catherine, who sadly lost her battle against Crohn's aged 38 when Derek and his brother were 16 & 21 years old. Derek, a successful businessman in Glasgow, has from the onset of his business, AIMS, wanted to include an affiliated charity and for him no other than NACC will do. Derek wants to support people affected by Colitis & Crohn's and help NACC fund projects in Scotland. Some of you might know that in conjunction with Yorkhill Children Hospital, a family day was held in Glasgow's Science Centre in September. The day was hugely enjoyed by over 200 children and their families. Derek was delighted that some of the money raised through the Catherine McEwan Ball was put to such good use in Glasgow. Derek told us 'nothing like that was available in Glasgow when my brother and I were children'. One parent described the day as 'wonderful for parents and children alike'. 2009's event took place on 7th March at the Thistle Hotel, Glasgow. The team wanted to raise much more for NACC and fund an away day in September 2009 for 60 teenagers with Colitis and Crohn's. The 2010 date is yet to be decided.
We aim to increase our annual research fund from £350,000 to £500,000 If each member raises £25 by placing their box in a prominent place e.g. on your desk at work, your favourite pub or bar, post office, shop or, if you are feeling brave, you could, as 8-year old Katie did, leave it in your hall for generous visitors, you could help us raise an amazing £725,000! If you wish to fundraise in this way please contact to request a box or boxes. The box opens out into a pyramid. Writing your name and address in the space provided on the base will ensure that the box is returned to you. Please send your cheques or postal orders made payable to NACC to: NACC (PYRAMID), 4 Beaumont House, Sutton Road, St Albans AL1 5HH Nothing on our fundraising pages appeal to you? Why not organise your own event and join in the drive to raise awareness and funds for NACC.
E-mail or call 01727 830038 to find out how else you can support the work of the NACC – working to help improve the lives of those living with Colitis and Crohn’s. |
