💙⚽️ WHAT A DAY! ⚽️💙
From me, Nicola, at Celebration Fairy, I honestly don’t know where to start! 🧚♀️❤️
Sunday 27th September was such a special day, as the amazing Samba boys came together to do something they love, while raising awareness and money for the wonderful Richmond’s Hope through JustGiving, all in honour of our Gorgeous Massively missed Vikki. 💙
I am incredibly proud to say that Celebration Fairy raised an amazing £1,220, which has now been paid into the JustGiving page! 🧁❤️
The majority of the cakes were made by me, with some amazing baking contributions from the girls who helped make our stall so special.
A huge thank you to Lauren Lyell Lauren Lyell for her fantastic brownies, treats and brilliantly organised labels Hamilton for her amazing tablet, and Irvine for her gorgeous baking contribution. 💕
And my girls Stewart & Stoddart, who helped man the stall and kept everything moving on the day. You were absolute stars! ✨
Then Mother Nature decided she wanted to join the fundraiser… 😂🌪️🌧️ We got hit by a mini storm that nearly sent the cake stall, and possibly a few cakes, into the next postcode! We quickly relocated while getting absolutely soaked. 😂🧁☔️
And honestly, I couldn’t help thinking that Vikki would have been right in the middle of that circle, absolutely loving every second of the attention, watching the boys running about showing off their skills… and their legs for her! 😉😂💙 She would have been in her element!
A massive thank you to Paul McPherson & David Donald for organising such a special charity event, and to every single one of the lads who played. ⚽️👏
And of course, thank you to EVERYONE who bought cakes, donated, bought raffle tickets and supported us. ❤️
Part of our total was also raised through the Celebration Fairy cake raffle, and the winner will be announced LIVE tonight! 🎟️🧁👀
Vikki would have been so proud. 💙👑 We can't ignore the massive rainbow right at the end of the game 💔💛🩵🩷🩷
From the bottom of my heart, THANK YOU. ❤️
