May 9, 2008 Hold a Eurovision party to raise money for Terrence Higgins Trust | ![]() |
HIV and sexual health charity, Terrence Higgins Trust is urging Eurovision Song Contest fans to hold a Eurovision party to raise funds for the charity. Eurovision is on May 24 and Terrence Higgins Trust (THT) is giving out Eurovision party packs to people holding a party on the big night.
The pack contains a CD of karaoke hits so guests can re-live the glory days of Bucks Fizz's 'Making Your Mind Up' or Sonia's 'Better The Devil You Know'. If the vocal cords aren't up to it anymore, there's a quiz to separate the Eurovision die-hards from the fair-weather friends. Also included are Terry Wogan masks for guests and national flag cocktail sticks as well as more ideas to make the night a success.
Simon Whiteman, Community Fundraising Manager at Terrence Higgins Trust said “If you’re planning on watching Eurovision, why not get some of your mates round and make a party of it? You can raise money by charging for entry or charging people who want to take part in the quiz. The money raised will all go towards THTs vital work supporting people living with or affected by HIV. Our party pack will make sure your night goes with a boom-bang-a-bang.”
If you’d like a Eurovision Party Pack to help plan your night please contact Simon on 020 7 812 1668 or email simon.whiteman@tht.org.uk
