Hotel Marketing Association Christmas Auction 2011
Every year the Hotel Marketing Association holds a fundraising event for a selected charity. This year we are raising funds for The Forces Children’s Trust – a charity devoted to working together to help children in need whose father or mother has died, or has sustained life threatening injuries, whilst serving as a member of the British Armed Forces. They provide support such as bereavement counselling for the child and the parent, positive experiences by enabling the children to participate in events like theatre trips, educational trips, holidays, flying days and many other events with children who are in a similar situation. www.forceschildrenstrust.org representing the charity at the lunch will be Denny Wise (Founder) and Colonel Bob Steward DSO MP (a Patron of the FCT).
A number of organisations and companies have kindly donated numerous prizes to help raise money for such a worthy cause. By bidding for some of these great donations you could help many more children.
Please visit the HMA (www.hotelmarketingassociation.com) for more information.
