Helping us to help you
The Cancer Support Group (Mabs) Mazarron would like to say a BIG thank you to everyone who supported their two fundraising events recently.

On March 28th they held a Table Top sale outside Pizerria Trevi selling new and used items which had been donated to raise funds. This event raised an amazing 552euros.

Then on 4th April the annual Mabs Spring Dance took place at Meson Marianos. More than 120 people enjoyed a meal and danced the night away to the fantastic sound of Barrington. Raffle prizes donated by local businesses and supporters helped raise a fantastic 1173 euros.

Mabs would like to thank the following businesses and supporters for their kind donations and support:-
Cornish Pride, Pasty Shack , Cactus, Mirage (3), Yorkshire Linen, Quick Save, Lesley's Curtains The Salon, The Tea Pot, Harbour Grill, Beauty Essentials, Gateway to India, Primera Opticos, Kelly Mobile Hairdresser, Euro Spas, Margaret Church, Canadas Golf Academy./p>

A special thank you goes to Pizerria Trevi and Meson Marianos for allowing us to use your premises for our events and Globos Balloons for the wonderful decorations. Finally, well done to our Fund Raising team for their hard work in making sure these events went smoothly.

All monies raised will be used to continue the help and support being offered to local cancer patients and their families.
