XSCAPE 3 Valleys Charity Day Thanks & Roll of Honour…<\/strong><\/p>\n

The newly renamed, fourth annual, XSCAPE 3 Valleys Charity Day<\/strong><\/em> that was held on Wednesday April 8th 2015 in Meribel Village was another incredible success. After our associated costs paid and some monies still left to come in we have already raised \u20ac36,000. This represents a \u20ac12,000 increase already on last years total which really is \u202a#\u200eEPIC\u202c!<\/p>\n

We will be announcing the final total very soon so look out for that on our Facebook page<\/a>. Thanks to everybody involved, as that\u2019s a truly amazing effort. We thought it might be a big one this year but that figure has really surpassed all our expectations so that\u2019s an incredible total for everybody to be really proud of.<\/p>\n

For the second year in a row the Gods smiled upon us with some incredible sunny weather on the day and the stage was set for another #EPIC<\/em> day of live music and fun.<\/p>\n

After taking the event to the Next Level<\/em> in 2014 with the addition of a headline act, the challenge for 2015 was to somehow improve upon that and make the event even bigger and better.<\/p>\n

\"original\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Our new mainline sponsors Xscape<\/a> joined us this year and with their support they have enabled us to make the event an even bigger spectacle and reach a wider audience. The addition of the fabulous Jo Whiley<\/a> as a joint headliner with The Dub Pistols<\/a> not only made for a great DJ set on the day but Jo brought us a larger profile and wider recognition in terms of sponsorship revenue to the event.<\/p>\n

\"dp\"<\/a><\/p>\n

These factors alongside the always incredible contribution of our local bands means we have been able to improve the event once more and increase the amount we raise for our two charities Sebastian’s Action Trust<\/a> and Ligue Nationale Contre le Cancer<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\"jo\"<\/a><\/p>\n

This years XSCAPE 3 Valley Charity Day<\/a> was attended by over 1600 people, which is quite incredible for an event that started life as a BBQ and street fete outside the Ski Lodge in La Tania 14 years ago.<\/p>\n

For this reason we held a smaller scale family orientated event in La Tania<\/a> on Monday 6th April. This event really harked back to the old days of the first charity days in La Tania and raised \u20ac5,500 on the day itself towards our grand total so a massive thank you to everyone involved in that event on Easter Monday.<\/p>\n

For the main event on Wednesday in Meribel there were too many highlights and great fancy dress costumes to mention here individually. The Snow Retreat<\/a> Matt Hatters Tea Party costumes on the sunglasses stand out for me and also it was really great to see Sean Lean and all the La Tania \/ Bozel kids up on stage during the Jo Whiley set. The future generation of Charity Day organisers were on stage in force showing the crowd how to party!<\/p>\n

With the XSCAPE 3 Valleys Charity Day it\u2019s always the volunteers that assist me and give up their own free time and lend their support to make the event happen that are my true heroes. A massive shout goes out to everyone who helped me organise this event this year and make it such a success. You all know who you are and I love you all!<\/p>\n

On a personal note, as always thanks to Tim Wall for providing advice, support and sometimes a much-needed injection of humor in the inevitable tough moments that arose along the way.<\/p>\n
