The NEC and Vivid Experience to donate Christmas party casino profits

The National Exhibition Centre (NEC) in Birmingham and its Christmas party partner, Vivid Experience, will donate all profits from their in-show fun casino profits to the Birmingham-based charity, Help Harry Help Others.
 
Harry Moseley, who started the Help Harry Help Others campaign, became famous when, during his battle with a brain tumour, he raised over £650,000 for research into the disease by making and selling bracelets.
 
Help Harry Help Others is unique in its efforts to not only help find a cure for brain cancer but also in helping children and their families who are affected by any cancer, and the people who support them. Since Harry sadly lost his battle in 2011, his family and supporters of the charity have continued to make the bracelets that he became so famous for.
 
Christmas Party World, which will run from 5 December to 22 December inclusive, will take in the entire Hall 12 at the NEC with around 10,000sqm of event space. The 2013 theme is Cirque based, where an array of aerial permances will take advantage of the NEC’s 10m internal height.
 
Richard Longhill, MD of Vivid Experience says: “The response from local and national businesses to the Christmas Party World concept so far has been phenomenal, and we’ve sold over 14,000 tickets already.”
