Tickets are going fast<\/strong>\u00a0for the 2016 Radio Lollipop Edinburgh Fundraising Ball.<\/p>\n

The event will take place on Friday 7th October at the Roxburghe Hotel, Edinburgh with the theme of “Speakeasy meets Great Gatsby”.<\/p>\n

Radio Lollipop Volunteer and one of the Ball organisers, Elaine Craig says:<\/p>\n

\u201cFor \u00a0the Team at Radio Lollipop in Edinburgh, the Annual Ball, now in its 10th year, has been our lifeline.<\/em><\/p>\n

When we first set out to have a fundraising ball, back in 2007, we were in very bad financial shape with the threat of having to close our doors, which is something we found difficult to contemplate.<\/em><\/p>\n

The ball, and importantly the supporters and guest that attend, helped us turn that around and have allowed us to continue to provide our service to the children at the Royal Hospital for Sick Children year on year.<\/em><\/p>\n

We cannot express enough our gratitude to all who have supported, they provided that lifeline for Radio \u00a0Lollipop Edinburgh.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

So far this year\u2019s Ball has sold almost \u00be of its ticket allocation. But even if you don\u2019t manage to secure a ticket you can still help out.<\/p>\n
