路明爱心夏季晚宴为儿童烧伤信托基金筹得数千善款
Dr Tapan Patel matches funds raised on the night to take grand total to over £27,500
A stellar night of fundraising took place last Saturday 2nd July as over 80 guests joined industry-leading IPL innovators Lumenis to raise an amazing £27,500 at the Lumenis Cares Summer Dinner in aid of the Children’s Burns Trust.
The glittering event was held in the exquisite Tapestry Room at prestigious London venue The Ned where guests enjoyed a sumptuous three course meal whilst listening to live music performed by the talented
Molly Hocking.
The evening was introduced by Dr Dev Patel and attended by representatives from Children’s Burns Trust who spoke emotively about their experiences of working with beneficiaries of the charity. One of the highlights of the evening was the auction hosted by Dr Tapan Patel who has, in an incredibly generous gesture, matched fundraising to bring the total amount raised to an amazing £27,500.
Children’s Burns Trust Chairman of Trustees, Princess Marina Lobanov Rostovsky comments:
Fundraising is the lifeblood of all small charities, and like many others we have had a tumultuous few years in terms of raising vital income following the pandemic.
The incredible energy, dedication and generosity from Lumenis led to the
success of this event, which was made all the more special by having
a number of Children’s Burns Trust Ambassadors in the room along with
guests from our marvellous NHS teams. We are so grateful to everyone who
came along and supported in some way, the incredible amount of
money raised on the night will allow us to continue providing rehabilitation
support for burned and scalded children, as well as supporting our prevention
and awareness campaigns for which there is little or no national funding”.
Laure Boisseux, Founder of the Lumenis Cares Foundation, said:
“We’re thrilled that our first fundraising event has been such a resounding success. We are so grateful to everyone who bought tickets, supported us with raffle prizes, our wonderful sponsors Dermaroller andXCELLARISPRO, and also to our hosts Dr Dev Patel and Dr Tapan Patel
whose very generous donation will make a huge difference to the work of Children’s Burns Trust and the valuable work they carry out with children and their families. A wonderful evening had by all for this very worthy cause.“
