What an incredible evening at the Victoria’s Promise Musical Extravaganza Dinner & Dance
What a wonderful night filled with music, dancing, laughter and, most importantly, the incredible community that makes Victoria’s Promise so special.
One of the most moving parts of the evening was hearing from members of our VP Tribe, who spoke so beautifully and bravely about the difference Victoria’s Promise has made to them throughout their cancer journeys. Their words were a powerful reminder of why we do what we do and why your support means so much.
We were also delighted to celebrate this year’s Victoria van der Westhuizen Award winners, Rose House, Robert May's School. Our Trustee, Simon Bower, had the honour of presenting the award to Simon Phillips, who received the award on behalf of the winners, in recognition of their fundraising efforts.
The evening was brought to life by the incredible entertainment from our band - The Marquees, professional singers - Mikey Shearer, Emily Shaw and Sam Pantcheff, and dancers - Louise Adamson, Alexandra Jay, Annoushka Sljivic (from LA entertainment), bringing London West End Theatre to The Apollo Hotel Basingstoke, and making it a truly memorable night!
A heartfelt thank you to everyone who made the evening such a success: our light and sound engineers Pete Jones and Jamie Scott, Eurohire and Midwich UK for the loan of equipment.
Our wonderful sponsors - Phillips Law, Finli, Sybron UK , Alchemy Professional Services and every one of our raffle prize donors for their kindness and generosity.
All our fantastic volunteers and of course to all our wonderful guests for joining us, making the evening so special and being incredibly generous in their support.
We are so grateful to all our supporters, together, we really are making a difference.
Thank you for making our Musical Extravaganza one to remember!
