We were really grateful to, and very proud of, Elise and Matilda for organising a cake stall at school in aid of Wendy's Wish and Cancer Research UK. During the two days they raised the amazing total of £147.90 to be shared between the two charities. Very well done girls for having such a great idea and for doing a fabulous job of selling the cakes. We would also like to say a big thank you to everyone who donated cakes and to all those who bought them.
White Tie and Diamonds Raffle Prize Winners
Thank you very much again to everyone who donated the wonderful prizes and to all the people who sold or bought raffle tickets. Your generosity helped us to raise an amazing total, which now stands at £25,757. Here is the list of raffle prizes and who donated them, together with the winners printed in red.
Music and Laughter
We would like to say another huge thank you to everyone involved in the Music and Laughter concert which took place at the Forum in July in memory of Diane Henry and Wendy. The wonderful total of £3,100 was raised and this was shared between The Dales School Hydrotherapy Pool and Wendy's Wish.
White Tie and Diamonds Ball
It's hard to know where to start thanking everyone who made the White Tie and Diamonds Ball such a success. Judging by all the wonderful messages from people, everyone thoroughly enjoyed themselves and we are overwhelmed by your generosity in helping us to raise the truly staggering figure of £25,757!! Some of this will go a long way to helping with Eye Tumour Research and the rest will be used to help cancer patients and their families.
Coffee Pot Coffee Morning
We would like to say a very big thank you to everyone who helped at this morning's Coffee Pot at Northallerton Methodist Church and to everyone who came to support us. We raised the fabulous sum of £182.
Thirsk and Northallerton Lions Club Quiz
We would like to say a very big thank you to Thirsk and Northallerton Lions Club for raising the fabulous sum of £350 at the recent quiz they organised. A special thank you to David Cundell for being a fantastic quizmaster and to him and Joan for suggesting Wendy's Wish to the Lions. The final thank you is to all the people who attended the quiz and donated raffle prizes. We really appreciate everyone's involvement.

WHITE TIE AND DIAMONDS BALL
Saturday 21st October 2017
White Tie and Diamonds Ball
At
The Garden Room
Tennants, Leyburn
We are delighted to announce that our White Tie and Diamonds Ball tickets are officially on sale priced at £60 each. For this you will get a delicious 3 course meal, entertainment and dancing to a live band, all in the fantastic setting of the Garden Rooms at Tennants, Leyburn.
For anyone who is interested in buying tickets, please email us at wendyswish2017@gmail.com to say how many tickets you require.
Ideally, we would like to sell tickets in groups of 10 but we can also cater for people only wanting a smaller number of tickets. We will then group these together to make tables of 10. We do have the option of a few tables that will seat 12-14 guests, should anyone have a group larger than 10.
We would also like to clarify that we are not expecting the men to wear the formal White Tie dress code of tails, although of course you are welcome to if that is your preferred choice, but we expect most men will choose a dinner jacket. The main thing is to enjoy yourselves - and bring your dancing shoes!
"GREASE" themed Summer Fete Monday 31st July
This is being organised by members of NCS, which is a government funded project that helps young teens to develop skills that will benefit them later on in life. For the third phase of the project they are planning a community action project and they are raising money for Wendy's Wish. To raise money and awareness for the charity they are going to be hosting a Grease themed Summer Féte in the lower floor of Northallerton Town Hall from 9:00 am untill 2:00pm on the 31st of July. We are very grateful and we hope they get lots of support.
Lemonade Sale
In March Wendy's wonderful nephew and niece, Harry and Isla, spent the afternoon selling lemonade outside their mum, Cara's, office at East Tennessee State University. The students were very generous and fully supported the event. As a result, Harry and Isla raised the superb sum of $60. Well done Harry and Isla - you are superstars and we are very proud of you.
