CAWC SETS DATE AND ANNOUNCES CHOSEN CHARITIES FOR ITS 2016 Christmas Charity Bazaar CAWC International (CAWC) will host its annual Christmas Bazaar in support of two local Bucks charities on Sunday 20 November 2016. This year’s event will again take place at the Crowne Plaza Hotel - Gerrards Cross and will see the popular event raise funds to be split between two chosen charities - the Epilepsy Society and Roald Dahl’s Marvelous Children’s Charity. There will once again be more than 70 artisans, craft and gift stalls. In addition, there will also be the bakery bar, the Lone Star Café featuring Tex-Mex food, two raffles, and the much sought after CAWC holiday gift baskets. The two raffles include a Grand Raffle featuring prizes from the Crowne Plaza with an overnight stay for two and a VIP Shopping Day at Bicester Village & Value Retail, as well as a 4-Ball from the Buckinghamshire Golf Club and diamonds from jewelers Pelugi Diamonds. There will be a general raffle featuring vendor-donated prizes. CAWC International has raised more than £250,000 with their fundraising events over the years. Comments Pam Showalter, CAWC Bazaar co-chair: “We’re delighted to be hosting this important charity-focused fundraising event again in support of two very worthy charities. This is the 29th year CAWC has worked with the community to fundraise and we hope that people will come, have a fabulous time shopping and, by shopping, help donate to some worthy causes”. Comments fellow co-chair Pam Houghton: “Last year we managed to raise more than £15,000 which was split between our incumbent charity The Epilepsy Society and The Pepper Foundation. We’re delighted to welcome the Roald Dahl’s Marvelous Children’s Charity as a joint recipient of this year’s fundraising efforts and we invite everybody to get on board either as donors, sponsors and exhibitors or as shoppers.” CAWC – www.cawc.co.uk is a group of International women who call the Chilterns their home either temporarily or permanently.
