Guests will be welcomed with a drinks reception, followed by a three-course meal, live music, and dancing. The evening will also feature a raffle with fantastic prizes and an exciting live auction hosted by Eastbourne’s very own local comedian, Tucker.
More than a sweet treat: ‘lollipops’ could help diagnose mouth cancer.
Today, diagnosing mouth cancer usually involves scalpels, stitches, and anaesthetic. ‘Stand Up To Cancer’ is funding a new project that could replace it all with ‘Lollipops’!
A Research team are working to turn their special hydrogel into a (flavoured) test that can quickly pick up signs of mouth cancer from saliva.
If it works, the lollipop could be a much less invasive alternative to biopsies, which involve cutting out small pieces of tissue to send for testing. It could also help doctors diagnose oral cancers earlier when treatment is more likely to be successful.
The Eastbourne committee are looking for individuals and companies to participate in an unforgettable evening of entertainment, dining and fundraising at this Black Tie Charity Ball in support of Cancer Research UK.
There are a variety of sponsorship opportunities available for businesses and individuals wishing to show additional support. Sponsors will be featured in the Charity Ball Programme displayed on tables throughout the evening, as well as across promotional materials. The committee also welcomes donations of raffle prizes or live auction items. All funds raised will help in developing new and innovative ways to detect and treat cancer.
Tickets are now on sale, priced at £75 per person, or guests can take advantage of a discounted rate of £700 for a table of 10.
