April 2026 – Sarah’s Pink Ball 2026
Another incredibly emotional night for everyone at Sarah’s Pink Ball as we both remebered why we were here and how it all started 21 years ago. Proceedings began with our Chairman, James, reminding everyone of the beginnings of Pink Events when our founder, Sarah, decided to do something positive to help her sister through treatment. Sarah had a target for the first ball in 2005 and having beaten it the momentum has continued. This has allowed Sarah’s Pink Events charity to make donations to research and practical items at the hospital which have a direct impact on patient experience and outcomes.
A number of our supporters attended the evening and this gave us chance to acknowledge their contrbutions, both physical and otherwise.
Lyn Desborough representing CRUK received a cheque for £5000 towards research into breast cancer. This now takes the total donated to CRUK to £120,000.
The final presentation of the evening was a cheque for £82,891. This was accepted by Mr Brian Hogan, consultant surgeon at the Breast Care Clinic St. James’s Hospital Leeds. This cheque represents the multiple donations in the last 12 months which have enabled Sarah’s Pink Events to buy the following items.
Softies & Bras, an electrical examination couch, contributing to the set up and continuation of a patient support group, a range of children’s books explaining in simple terms what is happening, Polybalm nail treatment to relieve “chemo nail” damage. It also covers the most recent purchases of iPads for use in clinic to speed up patient data collection and the upgrading of software on the X-Ray equipment to give much clearer diagnostic imaging enabling faster and earlier diagnosis.
Mr. Brian Hogan then went on to explain some of the benefits that have come from the donations over the past 21 years and the impact on patients and outcomes.
Following the presentations the fun and games began under the watchful eye of Steve le Fevre, our ever present host for the evening. We thank Steve & Caroline for their continued support and help in ensuring we have a successful and enjoyable event.
After the dust settled we are please to say that the evening raised £14,108.50.
This now takes the total raised by Sarah’s Pink Events to £565,141.
Thank you to everyone who contributed time, effort, raffle prizes and auction items as well as those who attended and generously gave. Without you we could not do what we do.
