The event, which is being organised by the Friends of Addenbrooke’s and will take place on Thursday 10th October at the DoubleTree by Hilton Hotel in Cambridge, is the perfect excuse to catch up with friends, family and colleagues, and indulge in a bit of guilt-free gluttony. Attendees, who are encouraged to wear pink, can enjoy themselves knowing that they are helping to raise much needed funds to help fight breast cancer.
The Pink Rose Appeal is an annual fundraising campaign organised by Addenbrooke’s Charitable Trust – the charity for Addenbrooke’s and the Rosie hospitals. All money raised through the Pink Rose Appeal helps pay for cutting edge research and treatment at the Cambridge Breast Unit and the adjacent Cambridge Breast Cancer Research Unit at Addenbrooke’s – an integrated centre of excellence that conducts world-class research and offers real hope and life saving treatment to local women battling breast cancer.
Commenting, Tudor Brown, Chairman of the Friends of Addenbrooke’s, said: “This is the third year we have held our Pink Rose tea at the DoubleTree and they have been very successful with more than 50 people joining us for this special Cambridge event. We welcome and encourage anyone to join us either singly or in groups and come and share this social atmosphere”.
Tickets for the Pink Rose afternoon tea cost £18 per person with all proceeds from the event going to the Pink Rose Appeal. The event starts at 3:30pm and finishes at 5:30pm. Event supporters include the DoubleTree by Hilton, which is kindly offering the ‘inspired’ pink afternoon tea in the Riverside Brasserie; Finn Jordan Beauty, which is providing mini manicures and hand / feet massages; plus a range of other local companies, which have donated raffle prizes and sponsored refreshments.
In addition there will be a Silent Auction for the following two exciting prizes:
The Ultimate Laurent-Perrier Picnic and Punting Package - from the Doubletree
"180 minute Finn Jordan Experience"
Includes morning or afternoon tea or coffee and a light lunch
Gayle Martin, Sales and Marketing Manager, at the DoubleTree by Hilton Hotel, said: “We feel privileged to have been able to help the Friends of Addenbrooke’s hold their Pink Rose Appeal tea party for the last few years. This is a fantastic initiative helping women directly here in Cambridge. We hope that this year they will again have a very successful event.”
