Vintage Travel sponsors Marie Curie Cancer Care in a star-studded fundraising event

As well as providing many great villas with private pools to discerning holidaymakers looking to escape the mainstream trail and diverge off the beaten track, Vintage Travel is involved with charity work. For the last three years, Vintage Travel has been supporting Marie Curie Cancer Care at the fundraising event known as the House Builder Brain Game.

This year’s event was held on May 2 at the Emirates Stadium in London with Vintage Travel donating a luxury 7-night break on the beautiful island of Mallorca. The donation managed to raise £3,600 for the charity in an auction, which was held on the night as part of the exclusive event’s proceedings.

The Emirates Stadium opened its doors to a glamorous flow of guests, which saw people from the construction industry gather on the May 2, to lock intellectual horns with each other as they competed in a star spangled quiz, where the quiz-master (or mistress) is a famous celebrity.

This year’s House Builder Brain Game attracted a number of A-lister celebrities, including Chris Tarrant, Barbara Windsor, Ainsley Harriot, Mark Clemmit and John Challis. Tony Christie performed “Is this the way to Amarillo,” which managed to fire the guests up and get everyone moving to the beat!

The guests from the construction industry pay anything from £2,000 to £3,000 for a ten-seat table on at the Marie Cure Cancer Care event and by the end of the night £119,000 had been raised, including the contribution by Vintage Travel.

Vintage Travel received a letter from the event organiser, Gemma Howell, thanking the company for its loyal support, stating that the support “was hugely valued by everyone at Marie Curie.”

Vintage Travel is the only travel company which supports Marie Curie Cancer Care and will continue to do so in the future, with high hopes that for next year’s star-studded House Builder Brain Game event, they will achieve a total donation of £10,000.
