Midland businesses are urged to support a fundraising event at the Porsche Centre in Solihull in aid of Marie Curie Cancer Care’s Big Build appeal.

An Evening With Porsche will see 300 guests enjoy a champagne reception, a fashion show featuring collections from Knowle-based boutique Belle Diva and Stratford-upon-Avon’s Sarto Menswear and a charity auction.

All proceeds raised on the evening of November 15 will be donated to the charity appeal which aims to raise the last £3 million of the £7 million needed to build a new hospice in Solihull.

Dean Lovett, chief executive of communications agency McCann Birmingham, said: “We’re encouraging organisations to come together to make a difference to a worthwhile local cause.”
