If you are wondering what to do this Sunday - that´s Sunday 12th May, then think no more.... head to Levi´s Showboat in the Rincon de Loix for a fabulous afternoon of top Benidorm acts & entertainers - and all for a very worthy charity which will pull at everyones heartstrings - Children with Cancer.

The event is the brainchild of Gary, who runs a Charity Shop "Giving4Giving" in La Nucia - it is located on the main La Nucia to Benidorm road on the parade of shops opposite Cheap Tyres by roundabout No 6 .

Originally from London but having lived in Spain for 10 years now, he opened the shop just under a year ago to help raise money for cancer charities. His life has heartbreakingly been plagued by the disease with numerous members of his family succumbing to it - his wife, mother, gran and aunt. He was left some money and decided that he wanted to try and help so set up his shop. It does not support a given cancer charity but Gary makes donations to different ones each time - he particularly likes to help the smaller lesser known ones. In March he organised a walk which raised 900 euros which he gave to the AECC.  He has also donated to MABS and this Sunday´s one is for ASPANION - The Association of Parents of Children with Cancer in the Valencian Community.

So what can you expect this Sunday you are all wondering! Well let me tell you the entertainment list is unbelievable - where will you find Take That, Gary George, Adele, Coco Chanel, Temptations, Jenny Wren, Kay C and the Dream Girls, Scott Michael to name just a fraction all under one roof... well that roof is "Showboat"! 

Take That boys... one of the many to perform for free

The afternoon kicks off at 2pm - (in fact, whilst there why not treat yourself to the delicious 3 course Sunday roast for only 8.95!) and entrance is a 2 euro donation, which will ALL go to the charity.  The afternoon has been organised by Gary, Wayne & Des, Tad & Lesley from the Yorkshire Pride and Mandy of the Round Town Times. Wayne knowing everyone on the entertainment circuit has organised much of the entertainment side and Tad & Lesley, who do lots of fundraising for the Reuleu Children´s home has amassed any incredible array of raffle prizes from many of the local businesses.

But one of the top and most sought after prizes, which will possibly be auctioned is an official Valencian team football shirt which has been signed by all the players! That must certainly be worth a healthy donation I should think....
If you know of any Valencian football team supporters please pass the word around - Im sure that telephone bids will be accepted too!
I am sure it will be a great afternoon and well done and congratulation to all those involved - the Brits are certainly renowned for their generosity at any charity events so a big thank you comes from Gary to all those that go.

The Giving4Giving charity shop is open 7 days a week from 10am until 2pm and any donations will be gratefully accepted by Gary. On 30th May, Gary together with the Union Jack Golf Society is organising a charity Golf tournament - anyone interesting in taking part contact Dave Morris at the Union Jack Bar in Benidorm.
