B60 SALSA'S RECENT CHARITY EVENTS
JANUARY 2010 - HAITI DISASTER
We have been fundraising in classes and at our regular monthly party nights in aid of the above.
All donations raised will be passed on to The Save The Children Fund, Bromsgrove Supporter's Group, (Group Number WH35) for their onward transmission to head office. You can still donate by cheque or by cash in class or on-line should you wish to do so.
Please make cheques payable to "The Save The Children Fund" and hand them to Lindsey or send to Mrs J Klee, Goods Secretary - Save The Children Fund, c/o 2a New Road, Bromsgrove, B60 2HZ. The link below provides further information on the work of this charity and their involvement in Haiti:
Thanks to all who gave so generously on Wednesday and on Friday evenings, a total of £143 has been raised in both raffles to date so far. We are continuing our fundraising for this cause, so it's not too late to donate should you wish to do so.
2009 - HELP FOR HEROES FUNDRAISING EVENT
B60 Salsa, Collective Promotions and Warwickshire Salsa recently teamed up to hold a fund raising event in aid of "Help for Heroes" which is an organisation formed to help those who have been wounded in Britain’s current conflicts. (See http://www.helpforheroes.org.uk/).
The event was held at The Canley Club in Coventry and over £600 was raised on the night. There are also pledges of further donations from people who were unable to attend the event. A huge thank you to all invloved.

2009 - CHILDREN IN NEED APPEAL
A recent charity event we have had involvement with has been with BBC Hereford & Worcester's 'Summer of Salsa' event in aid of Children in Need which culminated in a successful Guiness World Record attempt at Worcester Warriors Rugby Club on Sunday 19th July. This was very well attended and over 400 people took part in the Guiness record attempt for the worlds largest salsa class in a line.
We would just like to say thank you to everyone who attended on the day, to those who were able to make financial donations and to those of you who danced in the downpour and set a new Guiness World Record. Special thanks also go to those of you who prefer to remain quietly in the background but without whose support we could not have participated in this event, it is very much appreciated.
We taught the Children in Need salsa dance routine at several al fresco workshops on Saturday 4th July in Victoria Square, Droitwich Spa, and would like to thank all those of you who took part.
