Celebrity auction set to keep Me & Dee afloat
Hollywood has come together to hold a star-studded auction to help raise funds for a charity responsible for organising seaside caravan holidays for children with life threatening illnesses. The efforts come as charity, Me&Dee, continues to face financial woes – already resulting in the loss of a number of caravans used to send terminally-ill children and their families on much-deserved holidays.
The Ticknall based charity will be auctioning a host of memorabilia at a charity auction due to take place in Newhall, Derbyshire, on 7 July, including a signed photograph of John Travolta and various items donated from the likes of from Dame Judi Dench and songstress Dame Vera Lynn. The night will also feature music and entertainment. Caroline Hawley, celebrity auctioneer from BBC’s Bargain Hunt and Flog It, will be returning to host the event, having previously raised £2,300 for the Me and Dee charity at a previous auction.
The auction for the charity, founded by Maria Hanson, currently needs £40,000 to keep afloat, and other items up for auction include a holiday, a Tom Ince-signed Derby County shirt, and a House of Commons bottle of whisky signed by David Cameron.
