This year marks five years of our charity making a difference to people affected by cancer across Scotland. It will be an opportunity to celebrate the impact we’ve made together, honour the legacy of our much-loved founder, Jen Hardy, who we sadly lost earlier this year, and look ahead to the difference we can continue to make.
Taking place at the stunning Prestonfield House in Edinburgh, the evening will feature a delicious three-course meal, fantastic entertainment and both a silent and live auction, raising vital funds to help us continue our mission to simplify cancer support across Scotland.
And here's the exciting part: for the first time, you can bid on our live auction prizes even if you’re not attending the ball!
We have an incredible collection of prizes this year, from once-in-a-lifetime holidays to luxury golf experiences. Whether you’re looking to treat yourself, surprise someone special or simply support a cause close to your heart, there’s something for everyone.
Our silent auction is packed with fantastic prizes, and you can browse the available lots and place your bids online.
Dreaming of an Italian escape? This incredible private villa stay offers the perfect opportunity to experience the beauty, food and culture of Tuscany with family and friends.
Set against breathtaking views of the Cortonesian Mountains and surrounding valley, this beautiful villa near the quintessential Tuscan town of Cortona combines classic Italian character with modern comforts. With four bedrooms, a private swimming pool and beautifully manicured gardens, it’s the perfect setting for seven nights of relaxation.
The experience goes far beyond the villa itself. One evening, a private chef will prepare a delicious three-course dinner, sharing the flavours of traditional Tuscan cuisine, including handmade pasta, a main course and dessert.
You’ll also enjoy a private tour of a renowned local winery, discovering the winemaking process before sitting down to a three-course lunch paired with three of the winery’s wines.
From lazy afternoons by the pool to exploring Cortona’s rich history, beautiful landscapes and vibrant Italian culture, this is a holiday to remember.
