2008The Blue Room- Man City Football ClubOn Thursday 20th November we held our most glamourous of events in Manchester with Shaun Wright-Phillips. Shaun and his family made sure that the event was really special and the auction items were unbelievable! The guests included Micah Richards, Titus Bramble, Andy Cole, Vincent Kompany, Andy Griffin, Michael Thomas, Brian Kidd, Gary Owen and DJ Spoony among numerous other stars from television and radio. We made an amazing £20,000 to go towards our New School fund! Hilton Hotel Dinner DanceOn Friday 14th November we held our annual dinner dance at the East Midlands Hilton Hotel. Over 200 guests came to enjoy the evening- many of which are sponsors and long term supporters of EFTC. Tommy Johnson hosted the evening and made sure it was one to be remembered- despite the flow of wine and champagne! It was a fantastic night, and despite fears that the credit crunch will seriously affect the charity, we raised a huge £15,000- more than we have ever raised here before. We love this event and can't wait to do it all again next year.
