Rod’s Musical Gift
Singer Rod Stewart has just been announced as the headliner at London’s annual “not to be missed event,” the Butterfly Ball, this coming May to raise money for the Caudwell Children Charity.
The charity’s chief executive, Trudi Beswick, was extremely happy to learn that Rod had offered to play the gig:
“We are thrilled that Rod has confirmed as our headline act and that he has kindly donated his time to the charity.”
The yearly gala, formerly called Legends Ball, is only one of Caudwell Children’s fundraising methods, but it’s by far the most popular, attended by many celebrities and charity supporters. It’s also the most lucrative, raising £1.5 million last year.
In 2000, businessman John Caudwell created the charity to provide funds for vital medical treatments, therapies and specialized equipment for children in the UK, bypassing any administration costs.
According to the charity’s website, all management and administration expenses are paid for by Caudwell himself: “For every pound donated not one single penny is spent on overheads, salaries, rent, electricity, postage, stationary etc.”
Ms. Beswick says, “It is set to be an electrifying night, and the money raised will all go to support children who desperately need our help.”
Stewart — whose performances have been known to go for as high as one million pounds — has a definitive “soft spot” for the hospitalized children in the UK, and to donate his time and effort is very laudable.
