Local disc jockey Chris Marshall Booth is set to bring back the nostalgic vibes with his second ‘Old School Disco’ night, all in the name of a good cause.
The event, which takes place on Saturday 30th November at Congleton Town Hall between 7.30pm-12.30am, is supporting former patient, Gena Moors, who is raising funds for the Breast Screening Unit at Macclesfield District General Hospital.
The mum-of-two’s fundraising efforts began in 2023 with the creation of ‘Splash of Pink’ which was established as a thank you for the care she received following a breast cancer diagnosis in 2020.
Following the success of her first event last year which raised over £24,000, Gena held her second Splash of Pink Breast Cancer Ball at Shrigley Hall & Hotel in September, in a bid to raise £50,000 to purchase a lifesaving piece of equipment for the unit, above and beyond what the NHS funds.
Gena said: “The first ‘Old School Disco’ night was an incredible success, and I was overwhelmed by the community’s support.
“A big thanks to Chris for his support in my fundraising efforts, the funds raised will go a long way in helping us purchase vital equipment for the breast screening unit, ensuring that more patients can benefit from the same high-quality care that I did.”
The ‘Old School Disco’ night promises to be a fun-filled evening with classic hits from the 70s, 80s, and 90s, encouraging attendees to dance the night away while contributing to a meaningful cause.
Tickets are £12 each and can be purchased by emailing chrismbooth@btopenworld.com.
