teenage cancer trust

HND Hospitality Management students at Ayr College, and as part of our course we have been asked to prepare and execute a charity function within the college.

During our initial planning, we were approached by Willie Pike, who was himself planning a charity function in association with the “Teenage Cancer Trust” and Paul Gayler, Executive Chef at Lanesbourgh Hotel, Hyde Park, London, and we were invited to join them.

Paul Gayler has worked on a number of charity events for the “Teenage Cancer Trust” and has named his fund-raising effort “Cook for the Cure”; this has spread across the UK and several established catering colleges have themselves hosted spectacular functions for the charity.

This function will be at Ayr College on the 25th April 2008 and we are planning a number of additional fund-raising activities to help promote the charity. Therefore we are holding an auction and raffle on the night, and would like to ask you for any donations/prizes or if you would be interested in purchasing any tickets for this event (ticket price £50 per person).

We thank you for your time and consideration on the matter.

Yours sincerely
