ANOTHER chart-topping line-up has today been confirmed for Radio Clyde’s second Cash for Kids Christmas lunch of 2010.
KT Tunstall, Shane Ward, Basshunter, Carrie Mac and Louis Walsh’s band Wonderland are the hot acts that will appear on stage at the sell-out event, which will take place at the Glasgow Hilton Hotel on December 10th.
Approximately 650 people are due to attend the prestigious luncheon, which achieved sell-out status within 20 minutes when tickets went on sale in October.
Says a spokesperson: “This year is the 30th year that Radio Clyde Cash for Kids has extended its support to vulnerable children in Glasgow and the West of Scotland. Since 1980, the charity has pledged over £21million to help 1.3 million deprived children.:
Tracey McNellan, Radio Clyde’s station director, said: “We are extremely pleased to announce another fantastic line-up for the second Cash for Kids charity lunch event this year.
“Radio Clyde is honored to be involved with the projects receiving funding. The support from our listeners continues to grow year on year, reflecting just how important this charity is to them and how vital Cash for Kids’ work is, particularly at this time of year.”
Sharon Taylor, charity ,anager at Radio Clyde Cash for Kids, said: “The Radio Clyde Cash for Kids annual lunches have become key dates in the Christmas social calendar. We are thrilled that the station has once again this year managed to secure a whole host of top acts to entertain our diners – everyone attending will be in for a real treat!
“Every penny that is donated to Cash for Kids goes directly to children in the West of Scotland who need it most. The funds that we raise through the lunch events and our other fundraising initiatives go directly to bring presents to those children on Christmas morning.”
