At the beginning of September, 19 year old Journalism student Briana Millett will be climbing Mount Kilimanjaro with Bournemouth University's Raise and Give society, in an attempt to raise a personal total of £2790 for the children's cancer charity CLIC Sargent. In order to kick start her fundraising, Briana has organised a charity evening at the Dana Pani curry house in Exeter (near The Odeon), with the hope of securing the first £1000 of her goal total.
Although Briana did not choose the charity personally, she is thrilled to be working with what she calls "a fantastic charity that do amazing work". CLIC Sargent was founded in 2005 after a successful merger between CLIC and Sargent Cancer Care for Children and provides counselling, 'homes from homes' near hospitals, holiday breaks, one-to-one nurses, grants and other forms of support for cancer sufferers and their families from the moment of diagnosis for as long as it's needed. Briana is fundraising with around 30 other people from her university and overall they hope to raise just over £80,000 to help CLIC Sargent continue their invaluable work.
The evening will involve a curry buffet, as well as a raffle and lots of other fun and games to raise as much money as possible. As well as this, Briana is hoping the evening will raise awareness of the local business who have been kind enough to help her organise the evening. Tickets cost £16.50, with £10 from each going directly into Briana's fund. The restaurant holds around 80 to 100 people and the fundraisers are hoping for a full house on the night. Tickets are available from kilicurrynight.eventbrite.co.uk
