Cancer research charity event

[Violet Star]

Hi geeks

I have been considering doing a Ladies pamper & shopping event to raise money for cancer research, in a local hall or community centre.
I have attended a few in my area in the past (they dont hold them that often) but when they do they always end up going really well.

Has anyone done a charity event? How did it go? And does anyone have any ideas i could incorporate into this event?

Ive never done anything for charity before so i thought it would be nice to put my bit in.
Thanks.

World's Biggest Coffee Morning - charity coffee morning - Macmillan Cancer Support

I know Macmillan are doing a big coffee morning soon ^^^ - wonder if you could incorporate it into that? Could call it Coffee and Class/Charm/Care or something?

Hi
We recently had an event at my salon in aid of ovarian cancer action and their 'Love Women' campaigh. We had 15mins mini treatments at a cost of £5.00 the treatments were mini facials, manicures,indian head, hot stones and reflexology. We also had a gazebo outside with face painting mini makeovers and nail painting for the kids. We also had lots of prizes donatored by the companies we use Art deco sent a lovely goody bag full of make-up, Sunjunkie sent 6 bottles of their retail products environ sent loads of mimuture products. Each client also recieved a goody bag sith samples in and literature on awarness of ovarian cancer ( this is something very close to my heart as I recently lost a close family memeber and a month later a close friend) and all the salons literature. The clients loved them. We managed to raise £500.00 in six hours all the money went to the charity. We have gained a lot of follow on business through this event. We are now planining a pamper evening with a fashion show. Hope this helps you with some ideas
