CHARITY
HOST A‘ DINNER DOWN MEMORY LANE’ PARTY FOR MARIE CURIE
Marie Curie is calling on food fans in Sussex to hold a dinner party with a difference this October to raise money for Marie Curie, the charity that cares for people with any terminal illness.
Dinner parties are a great way to share memorable moments with friends and family. By hosting a‘ dinner down memory lane’, you’ ll be adding something different to the mix. The meal you enjoy together will also help fund Marie Curie nurses, who care for people in their own homes. This means more people living with a terminal illness can spend quality time with their loved ones.
Your evening can be as simple, creative or as fancy as you like. So, whether you love to experiment with the classics, or prefer rustling up a much-loved family favourite, it’ s all about sharing good times together and supporting a great cause. Instead of asking your guests to bring a bottle, ask them for a donation to Marie Curie – the perfect way to add meaning to your menu. The money raised from every dinner party will help Marie Curie provide more free care to people living with a terminal illness and their families.
Georgia Paton, community fundraiser for Marie Curie, said:“ We’ re really looking forward to seeing what the local community cooks up, whether it be a classic recipe from the past or a brand new culinary creation. We already have supporters planning a 1950s-themed dinner party, a Masterchef-style competition, a school reunion, and a family dinner party in memory of a much-loved family member. If you haven’ t done any fundraising before this is the perfect opportunity to get involved and make a difference.”
