Celebrities add spice to Charity Ball
Adrian Stohr with the Kylie Minogue memorabilia
Charity Ball in Support of Children with Cancer, Saturday 11th June 2016
Pop superstar Kylie Minogue is the latest celebrity to support a summer charity ball, in Suffolk, being held to raise money for children with cancer.
The singer, songwriter and actress has donated a number of items – such as a limited edition signed photo, a signed CD, dolls and t-shirts – to be auctioned at the black tie event.
The ball is being organised by 40-year-old Sudbury man Adrian Stohr, who lost eight stone in less than a year following his father’s death. Mr Stohr, who recently completed the Brighton and London marathons is aiming to raise thousands of pounds for Children with Cancer UK.
The father-of-three has already raised £7,000 for the charity via taking part in marathons and an earlier charity ball held in 2014. Mr Stohr hopes the second charity ball being held in June at the Stoke-by-Nayland Hotel, will take the amount he has raised above the £10,000 mark.
In addition to the items provided by Kylie Minogue memorabilia from other celebrities including Elton John and comedian Jason Manford will be auctioned on the night.
A number of local businesses – including Stag and Doe Jewellers, cleaning and maids service Girl Fridays, The Loft restaurant, Wardale Williams opticians, The Comfortable Cow bar, Juniper Flowers, Floors and Snores, Mindbody Performance personal trainers, Stoke-by-Nayland Golf Course and Peake Spa – have now donated prizes to a fundraising raffle being held as part of the evening. The event is already being sponsored by Indigo Ross printers, the Stoke-by-Nayland Hotel, Golf and Spa and Patrick Lowman PR.
Mr Stohr said: “I am delighted by the donation from Kylie Minogue as the collection really does have the wow factor and I am sure it will raise a lot of money on the night. There will be items up for auction from some of the biggest names in the sporting and entertainments industries so we are really excited.
“We are expecting more than 100 people on the night but tickets are still available and we urge anyone who can to come along and help us raise money for this fantastic charity.”
The charity ball is being held on Saturday, June 11 starting at 6.30pm. Tickets cost £55 each or £500 for table of ten. The cost includes a pre-dinner drink, a three course sit down meal and live music from renowned tribute band The Committed.
