OLRFC Rugby4Heroes rocked 353 Ball 2014
OLRFC Rugby4Heroes rocked 353 Ball 2014. We attended along with friends of Rugby4Heroes and our charity partners 353.
This year’s Ball moved to a Saturday for a change as it would of marked the 3rd anniversary of the loss of Conrad Lewis and Lewis Hendry. Everyone at Guy Nelson Hall, Warwick School toasted all those brave men and women that served in Afghanistan. The evening was a great success with raffles and auctions raising vital money for the charity, but also provided great entertainment. Performances from Big Secret Sound featuring Andrew James with 353 charity single Soldier On and John Cochlans Quo.
The event is being run by the 353 Trust which was set up in the memory of Conrad, who heroically became the 353rd soldier to lose his life in the theatre of Afghanistan. Conrads citation in his ‘mention in dispatches’ mentioned that he would do anything for his comrades and that’s exactly what we are trying to continue to do in his memory.
The aim is to deliver much needed, long-term support to a variety of charities, soldiers and their families. Please help us and 353 support these vitally important causes.
100% of all funds raised go to help the smaller charities that don’t receive the high profile ‘headline’ donations, but do a fantastic job to support our troops and their families in unique ways. These include: The Paracharity, The Parachute Regiment Afghanistan Trust, Nowzad Dogs and Troop Aid based in Selly Oak Hospital. All great, hard-working charities, all deserving our help.
It was another fantastic night to remember.
Keep us the support of Soldier On please guys
