A GLAMOUROUS Casino Royale fundraising gala will give Bond fans a chance to dress up for a suave, action-packed night of fun.

My Cancer My Choices’ (MCMC) Bond-themed event promises to be a night that’s licenced to thrill.

Gala guests will be able to celebrate Bond’s lethal charm, martini preferences, and high-stakes missions, while at the same time raising money for the cancer charity.

The organisation’s inaugural Charity Casino Night , with its Casino Royale motif, invites attendees to dress for the occasion, with the chance to win a prize for the best Bond character outfit (male and female).

Guests can enjoy access to casino tables, games, a welcome drink, bowl food, and live entertainment, with DJ and dancing, and will be able to buy and bet with Bond Pounds at the tables, and to purchase raffle tickets, or bid on prizes at both a silent and a live auction.

“We’re so excited to be benefitting from this fabulous event,” said Claire Rhodes, CEO of My Cancer My Choices.

“It’s a chance for people to really have some fun, dress up, enjoy the entertainment, and have a great night – all whilst knowing they are doing great things to help support more people in Berkshire living with cancer.

“I can’t wait to see all the would-be 007s, Moneypennys, Jaws or Ms who will come and join us for this terrific evening.”

My Cancer My Choices provides a safe space for people affected by cancer to access free complementary therapies, including acupuncture, reflexology, massage, reiki and mindfulness.

Its services are designed to reduce the side effects of conventional treatment while supporting the person’s physical and emotional wellbeing.

It has offered comfort and personalised, people-centred support to more than 2,000 individuals facing cancer over the past decade.

Reliant on fundraising to run their services, MCMC invites the borough to enable them to support as many people living with cancer as possible.

By attending the charity’s Bond event, guests will be helping to ensure that people with the condition are able to receive care, compassion and calm during their treatment journey.

The fundraising evening will take place at The Coppid Beech Hotel, Bracknell, on Friday, March 20.

Doors are open from 7pm until midnight.

Tickets cost £55, and include access to the casino, games, a welcome drink, bowl food, and live entertainment.

Raffle tickets (not included) will be available to buy on the night, with all event proceeds going to My Cancer My Choices.

Whether from Russia with Love, or living locally, people can book their tickets for the Charity Casino Royale night, at: mycancermychoices.org.

Anyone unable to attend can sign up to receive a newsletter with information about future events.
