Marks & Spencer has today announced its support of a special concert in aid of Manx Cancer Help with the aim of raising ?1,500 for the local charity.
“Saturday Night Live” is sure to raise the roof at St. Ninian’s Church on 8th April when staff from the M&S Douglas store, along with representatives from Manx Cancer Help, will welcome guests for a jam-packed musical extravaganza!
The stellar line-up will include a host of the Isle of Man’s favourite singer-songwriters including Jeff Jepson, Suzy Manton, Chris Gray, Steph & Eamonn, as well as indie band, Han-FX & Jor-DMC and the Meraki Choir.
Tickets can be purchased online for ?10 http://buytickets.at/ultimateproductions/87806 or simply come along on the night and pay at the door for a fantastic evening of top-class entertainment. Doors open at 7.30pm with the concert taking place from 8-11pm.
Not only will the event fundraise for a fantastic cause, it will also be a celebration of a year-long charity partnership between the M&S Douglas store and Manx Cancer Help.
Julie Hodgen, M&S Douglas Store Manager said: “We are delighted to be organising this fundraising event to raise much needed funds for Manx Cancer Help and we’re hoping for a full house on Saturday April 8th. What a fantastic way to also celebrate one year of fundraising on behalf of the charity!”
Gareth Nicolson from Manx Cancer Help commented: “At Manx Cancer Help we recognise the impact that cancer can have not only on the individual, but also on loved ones, friends and family members. Whether it’s a patient who is diagnosed with cancer, a family member or friend of someone who has been diagnosed, we are here to help. We also provide support for those in a caring profession who work with cancer sufferers.
“As a small charity, it’s vital for us to have the support of companies like M&S so that we can raise as much money as possible to fund our projects and help those who need support during a life changing moment.
“Throughout the past year, we have been indebted to the staff at the M&S Douglas store as their support has enabled us to promote our Manx Fairies and book project, sell lottery tickets for our Lapland holiday trip, bag pack in the M&S Douglas store, as well as the wonderful M&S staff organising a very professional Bingo afternoon!
“Steph Joyce from M&S Douglas has superb connections with Manx musical acts and along with our loyal supporter Justin from ELS, who provides amazing quality sound and lighting, “Saturday Night Live” promises to be a great night’s entertainment. We hope that as many islanders as possible will come along and support us on 8th April.”
