How? By helping to fund local Cancer Research initiatives and improve lives in Bristol and the South West.
Our annual Gala Dinner is the perfect opportunity to meet like minded professionals, help us raise funds and celebrate our achievements.
And you’re invited! It’s great fun and there are plenty of amazing prizes to be won.

Please join us in our mission to raise at least £55k profit from the event this year. This money is needed more than ever to help fund research in Bristol and bring us closer to a world where people can all live longer, better lives, free from the fear of cancer.
To achieve this goal we need to bring at least 250 people from the Bristol business community together on the night, and this is where you come in. This will be a fabulous opportunity for you to invite your clients or suppliers to what will be an enjoyable evening for a very worthwhile cause.
This year we are able to offer either tables of 10 at £1,200 or tables of 12 at £1,400. The ticket includes a drinks reception, 3 course dinner and all entertainment for the evening. Your guests are sure to be impressed by the wonderful room at TheHarbour Hotel and will join the business community in Bristol helping us to beat cancer.
