Saturday 16th November

Saturday we had our Cake, Bake and Table Sale at Pebsham Community Centre.
#teamjack spent Friday baking (I spent Thursday baking too!!) all in preparation, so we had lots of yummy bakes for people to enjoy.
We also had a Tombola, a Bric-a-brac table and 2 "Guess" competitions, as well as refreshments.
We were also joined by a few independent people who had a table selling their lovely items- personalised goodies, Avon, Face Painting were a few things on offer.

There were a few other events going on in our area on the same day, so it was a little quieter than usual, but we still managed to raise an amazing ⭐£284⭐
The way we look at this, is that this money raised will cover a family in Jack's VIP Box at Charlton 😊 so we are really pleased.
Huge thanks to everyone who came along and supported us. It really does mean so much 💖
Next up is our quiz on Saturday night! Always good fun. 😁

Friday night saw our "Buffet and a Band" night, which was a last minute thing to replace our GOLD Charity Ball, which sadly had to be cancelled.  
What a great night it was! 🥂
We spent Thursday and Friday baking, cooking and preparing food for the buffet. (We went a little bit overboard with the amount! 😂)
We kept with the gold theme as the whole point of it was because it's #childhoodcancerawarenessmonth. So we had gold tops to wear, gold balloons, gold napkins, gold table confetti and our cupcakes that my sister and I had made had edible gold spray or the gold ribbon cake toppers!
The turn out was fantastic- we pretty much had a full house, and everyone seemed to have a great night.
The band, The Do Theys, were amazing. Really interacted with the guests and were brilliant with the kids too (who we had bought inflatable guitars to help keep them occupied!) Very aptly, one of the songs that was included in their set was GOLD by Spandau Ballet. 💛

The final amount raised from that night, after costs, was a fantastic ⭐£350⭐

For a last minute event, arranged in less than 3 weeks, we are over the moon with raising this!
Thankyou so much to everyone who supported us, from Sidley Working Mens Club for giving us the venue, the band for being amazing, all of you who bought tickets and raffle tickets and attended, those who donated raffle prizes, and of course our wonderful team at JJST for all your hard work setting up and the food preparation!
We could not do any of this without all you wonderful people and we are so grateful to you all for continuously supporting us and Jack's charity, and especially our team, who do all of this in our free time and for no personal gain other than doing it for Jack and the children we help. 

Our next event organised is another Cake and Bake Sale on Sat 9th November. You can find more details about this in our events section.

Today we held 🎈Jack's Birthday Bash! 🎈
We decided a while back that we wanted to hold a big birthday party for Jack, so we had the party at our local community centre.
The main goal of today was a party for Jack, but obviously if we could raise a bit of money for the charity while we were at it, then why not! But, we would have been pleased just to break even. However, it went really well! 😊

After taking out all costs, we raised a wonderful 🎈£245! 🎈

We had AME Mobile Disco to do music and games which were absolutely brilliant- the kids loved it! 🎶🎤🎵
We hired the Superhero bouncy castle and soft play from Airplay Inflatables. Bouncy Castle & Softplay Hire. This was hugely popular.  Everyone loves a bouncy castle, and the little ones could play in the ball pit and the diddy cars were played with by both kids and adults! (Well Jack's nanny mostly! 😂)
We had hot food, cakes and refreshments available. Huge thanks to our team in the kitchen! Not an easy job but you all did it brilliantly! 🍔🌭🍟
Big thanks to our Face Painting girls who did brilliantly as usual! 🎨
We had some little competitions aswell- tombola, guess how many sweets, a raffle and a new one for us- match the name to the teddy. This was very popular! Definitely one we will do again! Thankyou to all who manned these! 

But most of all, THANKYOU to all of YOU who supported this event. By attending or by donating things for us to use. Not only did you help us have a great party for Jack's birthday, but you've helped to raise more money for his charity that will go on to help poorly children and their families. We could not do any of this without you all. 💖
