On July 2, the Lumenis Cares Summer Dinner was held in aid of Children’s Burns Trust, with Dr Tapan Patel matching funds raised to bring the grand total to £28,000.
Held in the Tapestry Room at The Ned in London, 70 guests enjoyed a three-course meal and music from Molly Hocking during the evening, which was sponsored by Dermaroller and XCELLARISPRO. After an introduction from Dr Dev Patel, the evening’s auction was hosted by Dr Tapan Patel.
Children’s Burns Trust has been working in the UK for more than 20 years to provide rehabilitation and support for children affected by burn and scald injuries, as well as their families.
The charity’s chairman of trustees, Princess Marina Lobanov Rostovsky, said, “We are so grateful to everyone who came along and supported in some way. The incredible amount of money raised on the night will allow us to continue providing rehabilitation support for burned and scalded children, as well as supporting our prevention and awareness campaign for which there is little or no national funding.”
Laure Boisseux, founder of the Lumenis Cares Foundation, added, “We’re thrilled that our first fundraising event has been such a resounding success! It was a wonderful for this very worthy cause.”
