A REDDITCH choir have raised over £7,000 for a Worcestershire breast cancer charity.
Got 2 Sing Redditch Choir joined its sister Worcestershire choirs to perform a special celebratory concert at Symphony Hall in Birmingham.
The 10th Anniversary Concert raised £7276 for the Worcestershire Breast Unit Haven in the process.
Fourteen Got 2 Sing choirs, including their Youth Choir, comprising over 700 members in total, took to the stage to deliver a concert of contemporary and classic songs from a ‘Sound of Music’ medley and The Greatest Showman’s ‘From Now On’ to Elton John’s classic ‘I’m Still Standing and Queen’s unforgettable ‘Don’t Stop Me Now.’
Alexandra Craigie, charity director of Worcestershire Breast Unit Haven, said: “We would like to thank Got 2 Sing so much for choosing Worcestershire Breast Unit Haven Charity as the beneficiary for their 10th Anniversary Concert – we were absolutely thrilled to have the opportunity to work with them and the concert was just magical.
“We cannot thank them all enough for their support!”
Redditch’s Got 2 Sing Choir Leader Cassie Gardner was overjoyed with outcome and said:“It was a wonderful concert. We have been absolutely overwhelmed with messages praising the professionalism of the performance.
“The fact that we have several choir members who have been affected by breast cancer in some way made it such a relevant charity for us to support.
” It was an amazing experience for us all and I would like to thank everyone for their generosity in supporting this fantastic cause! There is no feeling quite like it – everyone is on a real high!”
For anyone feeling inspired to join, Redditch’s new term starts Wed 14th Sept, 7.30 – 9.00pm at Winyates Green Community Centre, Furze Lane, Redditch B98 0SE.
