The annual ball is organised by Hastings woman Hayley Luck, along with her husband three daughters and son in laws. Hayley said: “After losing my father to prostate cancer in 2011 my family and I decided that we wanted to organise a charity event in his memory and in memory of my mother in law who we had lost to a stroke and to raise funds and awareness about these two conditions, so we organised a charity ball. “So far we have raised £13,500 for the two charities and are trying to now reach a total of £20,000.” The evening will include a glass of Prosecco upon arrival, three course meal followed by tea/coffee and mints, live music provided by Chris Anderson’s ‘The Swing Thing’ during dinner, a luxury raffle and auction followed by music and dancing until midnight. Hayley said: “We have some amazing prizes for our raffle and auction this year-the top auction lot being a VIP day for two at RAF Scampton with the Red Arrows to include photo opportunities, sitting in a de briefing, watching a display and lunch with the team. Tickets are £37 or a table of ten for £350, available by contacting 0781 8508469 or email via our facebook page www.facebook.com/theperidotball.
