'A Night in Paris' raises £50,000 for Lichfield cancer charity
The Stan Bowley Trust has raised an incredible £50,000 at its "A Night in Paris" charity ball. Held on Saturday, November 8, at the Hilton Festival Park in Etruria, the glittering evening brought together supporters, local businesses, and community members for a celebration of generosity and hope.
The funds raised will directly support patients and their families facing cancer as they access life-changing CyberKnife treatment at Queen Elizabeth Hospital Birmingham.
Guests enjoyed a spectacular Parisian-themed evening featuring drinks on arrival, a three-course dinner, and entertainment from a live band, creating an unforgettable atmosphere of glamour and goodwill.
"We're absolutely overwhelmed by the incredible generosity shown at our Night in Paris ball," said Kate Barnstable-Mulvey, Fundraiser of The Stan Bowley Trust. "This £50,000 will make a real difference to patients and families during what is often the most difficult time of their lives. CyberKnife treatment offers hope where traditional surgery may not be possible, and thanks to everyone who attended and supported the event, more people will have access to this pioneering, non-invasive treatment."
Since its establishment in 2011, The Stan Bowley Trust has helped over 4,500 patients access CyberKnife treatment; a revolutionary radiotherapy technology that delivers highly targeted radiation to tumours with pinpoint accuracy, minimising damage to surrounding healthy tissue.
The charity was founded in memory of Alan "Stan" Bowley, a former police officer whose successful CyberKnife treatment in Washington D.C. inspired the mission to bring this groundbreaking treatment to the UK.
