Anyone who knows me knows that I am an avid fundraiser. I love nothing better than organising an event and helping charities. This year my focus is on Friends of ANCHOR, an Aberdeen based cancer charity that raises funds for the the Aberdeen and North Centre for haematology, oncology and Radiotherapy (ANCHOR) unit at Aberdeen's Royal Infirmary.
Friends of ANCHOR
Helping make cancer and haematology care in the North-East of Scotland the best it can be
Friends of ANCHOR is a Scottish registered charity that was formed in 1997 to raise funds on behalf of the ANCHOR unit in Aberdeen, and has a support area extending throughout the north east of Scotland including Orkney and Shetland. The Aberdeen and North Centre for Haematology, Oncology and Radiography (ANCHOR) unit is a fully funded NHS department at Aberdeen Royal Infirmary, Foresterhill that brings together experts and specialist nursing support to coordinate the care of patients with all forms of cancer, leukaemia and benign blood disorders such as haemophilia.
Friends of ANCHOR funds the purchase of non-NHS provided equipment for the ANCHOR unit and aims to provide additional care, comfort and support for ANCHOR patients. The charity also funds vital groundbreaking cancer research projects at the University of Aberdeen Institute of Medical Science, Foresterhill.

So we come to the exciting bit - the latest fundraiser!! Boogie With Buble
What better way to treat your Mums on the weekend of Mother’s Day than tickets to a night with Michael Bublé tribute act, Totally Bublé. As the winner of the 2011 Scottish New Music Award Winner, it’s sure to be the perfect excuse for a girls’ night out! Taking place on Saturday, 17th March at the Hilton Treetops Hotel, guests will be treated to live renditions of their favourite Bublé songs, followed by a disco which is sure to keep guests entertained well into the night. A champagne reception, lavish three-course meal and night-long entertainment are all included in the £35 ticket price. All profits will go to Friends of ANCHOR.
Tickets can be bought individually or as a table. As an incentive to buy a table, you will receive a free bottle of bubbly to enjoy with your guests on the night. Tickets can be purchased through the event website www.boogiewithbuble.co.uk or by contacting me at gillian@krcinternational.co.uk

The charity is unique in that every penny donated goes to the cause as all administration costs are covered by sponsorship from Balmoral Group. With this at the forefront of the charitys ethical code of conduct they are committed to ensuring that the charitys funds are always utilised in the most appropriate and effective way.
The vision for the charitys future is to continue their commitment of support and cancer research funding.
