APCA BAND NIGHT success

APCA Band Night - 16th December 2010

We had a night of great music at one of London's best live music venues, The Brixton Windmill and raised over £700 for APCA UK.

Hot on the heels of their third album, The Barker Band (www.barkerband.com)  played some of the finest country-rock to have emanated from these shores. 

Throw into the mix a touch of folk magic courtesy of Troubadour Rose (www.myspace.com/troubadourrose)  and some infectious ska from Popes of Chillitown (www.myspace.com/popesofchillitown) and we had a fabulous Christmas party!

We raffled some amazing prizes on the night including:

• Two return flights to destinations in Africa courtesy of Kenya Airways
• Amy MacDonald's signed guitar
• Dinner at Chakalaka Restaurant, Putney (£60 voucher)
• Dinner for two at Negril Restaurant, Brixton         

A big thanks to the venue, prize donors and bands which donated their energy, skill and gifts free of charge so every penny raised from ticket sales supported APCA's work and will help improve the lives of people living with terminal illnesses in Africa. 

 

Take part in a FREE Skydive!!!

Why not experience the exhilarating rush of leaping out of a plane thousands of feet above the ground and raise money for a good cause at the same time?  You can do the skydive at locations all over the country - and best of all its absolutely free!!!  All we ask is that you set yourself a target of raising £395 in sponsorship. 

Interested? Call 020 7401 9923 and let us know what date you had in mind to do the skydive.  We'll take care of the rest!

Hold a Dinner for Good

If you're passionate about improving care for people with terminal illnesses in Africa, but don't fancy leaping out of a plane this could be the event for you!  Hold a dinner party and invite friends/ family/ colleagues via the Dinner for Good website  (http://www.dinner4good.com/APCA).  Here you can customise email invites and send them out to all your potential guests.  Guests can then accept your invite by return email and make a secure online donation to APCA at the same time.  This way you avoid the awkward ‘ask' on the day of the dinner itself leaving you free to enjoy the party.  A great way to have fun and support APCA at the same time.

Thanks to all our Run to the Beat Runners!

A huge thank you to all 12 runners who took part in the Run to the Beat half-marathon!  Despite the weather this event was a great success.  One of our runners, Gavin Murrison, got an incredible time of 1h:26m putting him in the top 100 finishers! Many congratulations to Gavin and all the APCA runners for their hard work, both training and raising valuable funds to support our work.
