Celebrity launch for Pollyanna's Prize Draw
(Christopher Casanove, Liza Goddard)
Three Famous faces from stage and screen visited Pollyanna to lend their support to the Pollyanna Pickering Foundation's first fundraising campaign of 2010.
Actor Christopher Cazenove visited Pollyanna's gallery to attend the launch event just weeks before his sad death earlier this month. Best known for his roles in Dynasty and the Duchess of Duke Street, he very kindly gave his support to the campaign during what would be his last visit to Derbyshire.
He was joined at the event by popular actress Liza Goddard and Jack Ellis - best known for his portrayal of villainous prison warder Jim Fenner in the television series Bad Girls and as Coronation Street 's Harry Mason - to officially launch the annual prize draw.
They are pictured above with Pollyanna, and her original painting of a tiger cub ‘ A Very Safe Place ' which will be the first prize. The painting has been valued at over £3,000. The money raised from the prize draw will finance the rescue of an Asiatic Moon Bear from the cruel ‘Bile Bear' trade to a sanctuary in Vietnam . Tickets for the prize draw for the original painting will be available at all of Pollyanna's talks during the Spring season and at the Beyond the Great Wall exhibition, (19 th June – 4 th July in Pollyanna's gallery near Matlock – 0162955851 for details) or can be purchased online at www.pollyannapickering.co.uk The tickets cost £1.00 each, and the winning ticket will be drawn on the 17th July 2010. |
