A CHILDREN’S charity is holding a third annual fundraising dinner.

The Toma Fund, the North-East children’s cancer charity, will hold a Tiaras and Tuxedos Ball at the Gosforth Park Marriott Hotel, Newcastle, on Saturday, November 22.

There will be a sparking drinks reception, three-course meal and live entertainment.

The fund was established by Andrea Thompson in memory of her son Jordan and niece Sophie, who both died of cancer at a young age.

Mrs Thompson said: “We have always been incredibly well supported by the local business community and the North-East public at our annual fundraising dinner and we’re keen to get as many people on board again for this year’s event.

“It’s a great opportunity to get everyone together to support these brave young people and their families and also celebrate some of the fantastic fundraising that has taken place in the last year.”

Tickets for the ball are £50 each, £470 for tables of ten or £540 for tables of 12. Sponsorship packages are available.
