Charity Dinner
About this Event
The South Island District of English Freemasons warmly invites you to join us for an enjoyable and meaningful Charity Dinner in support of two outstanding local charities.
This special evening will raise funds for Cholmondeley Children's Centre and One Mother to Another, with all proceeds being shared equally between the two organisations to help them continue their invaluable work supporting children and families throughout our community.
Guests will enjoy a superb two-course alternate-drop dinner, expertly prepared by renowned chef Mark McCracken of Comber Cuisine, while sharing a memorable evening with friends, family, and supporters of these worthy causes.
During the evening, representatives from both charities will provide a brief presentation, offering insight into the vital services they deliver and the positive impact they have on the lives of those they support.
To help maximise fundraising for these deserving organisations, the evening will also feature:
- A cash bar serving wine and beer
- A silent auction with a range of fantastic prizes
- Raffles with great prizes to be won
We look forward to welcoming you for a night of great food, good company, and community spirit, all while making a meaningful difference for two exceptional charities.
