Art Auction
The Big Christmas Networking Party on 15th Dec (have you booked? If not, be quick!) is blessed with some beautiful donations to auction to help raise funds for the Cambridge Cancer Help Centre and Scotsdales Charitable Foundation which is still raising money to pay for the CCHC building. We’d like to thank all the artists for their generosity – please visit their websites and look at their other work, tell your friends about it and come along on the night to bid for your own choice and to own an original work of art! (if you can’t be with us you can still make a bid – just send us an email)
