OK Band Charity Picnic
Saturday afternoon, 20th January, saw 93 U3A Vall del Pop members and followers of the fantastic OK band partying non stop for 5 hours!
On a gloriously sunny day, Terry and Co, 2 of the band members, kindly opened their beautiful home and rehearsal studio for an indoor picnic concert in aid of our Goodwill charity. Goodwill fundraises on behalf of local charities in need and every euro we raise is donated at the end of the year to a variety of local worthy causes.
Alain and Elena of the super duo, Multipass, kindly opened the afternoon with a fantastic set while guests enjoyed their picnics and drinks from the bar. The dancing and singing had already started! Delicious homemade sausage rolls and cakes were on sale to top up picnics plus homemade marmalades and chutneys.
The incredible OK band then took to the stage and the venue rocked for the next 2.5 hours with non stop dancing and singing along. If you know the band you will be aware how amazing they are, if you don’t then try and catch them at one of their charity events. They are the most generous bunch of people and help many charities to raise funds through their gigs. Last year alone they raised just under 25,000e. A raffle of some 20 great prizes and an auction of champagne, a Burberry wrap and a restaurant voucher kindly donated by the Vall del Pop restaurant in Lliber saw guests very generously donating for which we are immensely grateful.
In total the afternoon raised 1952 euros, a truly fantastic amount. Huge thank yous to everyone who came and supported the event, to the OKs and Multipass who entertained us and to all the helpers. A wonderful 1st Goodwill event of 2024.
