Summer´s Bar in El Galan held what has been described as an “excellent” charity event last week, with special guest Ricky Valance joining in to help raise thousands to help the Elche Children´s home, for their “Convoy Of Happiness” tour to Terra Mitica in June.
The evening started with a three course meal and superb entertainment from Dan Davy and Richie Alexander with a raffle offering prizes donated by many of bar owner Trev Massey´s friends and fellow local business owners to help the cause.
An auction was also one of the highlights of the night, with a generous auction prize donated by Serenity Sailing in Torrevieja seeing great interest and with a lot of bidding from the customers, all wanting to win the day on a chartered yacht, including lunch. The winning bid of 500€ was by regular Kate Sloan who very generously offered the prize to the next highest bidders, Norman & Valerie Rapley, who in turn matched Kate´s winning bid. She then donated the 500€ direct to the charity, resulting in raising 1000€ for the auction alone.
Trev Massey said, “I first spoke to my wife Debbie just 2 months ago and thought we could possibly raise most of the money needed by around June. I have been absolutely overwhelmed by the unending generosity shown by the regulars of Summer´s Bar El Galan, as well as the regulars in our other bar Massey´s Sports & Tapas in Blue Lagoon”.
Continuing, “I would also like to thank BMC Removals and the Ladies Bingo Social Circle at Hollywood´s Bar Los Dolses for each donating 200€ and an extra special thank you to Help Vega Baja who invited me to their San Miguel shop to explain more about my plans. After listening to the plans in more detail, they offered to pay for the children´s entrance fee, totalling in excess of 1000€!!!”
Summer´s Bar has another charity night planned on the 13th of March, priced at just 11.95€ per person, including a 3 course meal and entertainment by Gemma, Chloe Leigh and Kev Tyler.
They are also asking for people to go through their cupboards at home and donate any unwanted items to the charity auction planned for the 16th of March. They are looking for electrical equipment, unwanted presents, books, dvds household goods, in fact anything that is in good condition that you no longer use that will be auctioned off to raise even money for this superb cause.
