Progressive Property Charity Auction Party Cancer research

“How a Head Shave, A Blow up Doll & 2 Male Ego's Helped Raise Over £6,000 for Cancer Research at the Progressive Property Charity Auction Party"

A massive thank you to all who helped raise over 250% more than expected - & for the generous prize donations: read more below & see how the night unfolded…

 

Yes you read right, The Progressive Property Charity Auction caused a stir

Mark had his head shaved for a £20 per person donation [x50 people] – this made his meeting with one of the heads of Bradford & Bingley interesting the following week – still he looks pretty good with it [once it was all off!]

How did that Blow up Doll get so Much Attention?

Yes; girlfriends became very jealous. Initially he was just there to sport the Rugby top, but he really got into the spirit of the auction as you can see below:
