Imelda & Mani's Fundraiser & Online Auction LaunchOFFICIAL PRESS RELEASENEWS PROVIDED BY Ask Me PR On Friday, 18th November, a very special fundraising event will take place at The Kimpton Clocktower Hotel Ballroom, Manchester. Curated by Manchester music legend Gary Mani Mounfield and his wife, DJ Agent Imelda, the event promises a night of first-class entertainment with live music, DJs, and surprise guests and is hosted by musician, writer and broadcaster John Robb. There will also be the opportunity to win lots of fantastic raffle prizes donated by bands, footballers, actors, venues and promoters. The event will also be the launch of an online auction featuring an incredible collection of memorabilia, holidays and to-die-for collector's items. Imelda and Mani have received lots of fantastic donations to support the event, including a signed Foo Fighters guitar, David Beckham signed boots (worn from personal collection), a 1966 immaculate Vespa 125, signed gold discs from both Noel Gallagher and Johnny Marr, Stock Hotel, Manchester overnight stay and breakfast with the Gary Neville, Nicky Butt and Paul Scholes, a hand-painted John Squire guitar, signed limited edition print from Coldplay, 7-night holiday in The Maldives, guitar signed by Roger Daltry & Pete Townsend, Stone Roses gold disc, a 7-night stay in a French country estate, a year's supply of wine from Cork of the North, plus paintings, prints, restaurant dinners...and more! Anyone can bid for these items online, which will run until the week before Christmas. All proceeds from the event and the online auction will go to The Christie Hospital and The Stockport Charitable Trust, two charities close to Imelda and Mani's hearts. As Imelda explains: "Both charities have supported me through my journey. Cancer affects not just the person who has it but everyone around them, and I hope that by investing in some more research, we can help alleviate some of the devastation caused to families." The fundraising event will feature DJ sets from Mani himself, Clint Boon and Luke Una, PAs and live performances from Rowetta, Danielle Moore (Crazy P), the Tall Faces and other unannounced guests. Plus, some live art will be provided by Art Battle, with finished artwork auctioned on the night. This event also happens during Mani's 60th birthday week, so it will be a night of celebrations as well as fundraising, as he says: "When life deals you a pair of twos, you have to get your game face on! These past two years since Imelda's diagnosis have been brutal in so many ways, but it's also opened our eyes to so many things as well. This disease needs to be eradicated ~ we feel duty-bound to do our bit to achieve this. So, everybody get on board, dig deep, help out. We will win!"
