Ladies lunch raises £14,600
07.10.09
Friday 25 September saw the MS Society Scotland hold it’s third fundraising Ladies Lunch in Glasgow. This fantastic event was attended by more than 150 ladies who in one afternoon raised over £14,600 for the Society!
The guests were treated to a spectacular fashion show featuring ‘real’ models wearing Zara clothes, Tantrums & Tiaras fascinators and Catherin Aitken handbags. Not to mention the gorgeous Glasgow Hawks rugby players who escorted the models down the catwalk! These plucky Hawks even ‘volunteered’ to auction themselves off for kisses later in the afternoon and posed for a topless photo with the hilarious comedian Susan Calman!
Hosts Des & Vanessa from Galaxy FM’s breakfast show steered the proceedings with such aplomb that Vanessa was rewarded by being granted her wish of taking away the polystyrene head that had supported the fascinator from the silent auction all day.
The star of the day though was Ryan McLaughlin who had a room full of women hanging off his every word as he delivered his emotional speech about how MS has touched his life and how proud he was to see his mum Kirsten modelling in the fashion show. Ryan even helped with the auction and raised the sale of seven signed Harry Potter books to a phenomenal £2,600.
Thank you to everyone who supported this event with their time, hard work and generosity! It is greatly appreciated.
