Nestled in the flickering glow of candlelight, attendees will be treated to a mesmerising evening of music and connection with performances by the wonderful ARCO String Quarter, Ireland\u2019s premiere vocal band Ard\u00fa and the charity\u2019s own Care Free Choir made up of families supported by the charity, staff and volunteers. This event will also be hosted by award-winning journalist, Holly Hamilton.<\/p>\n

Speaking on this, William Steele, Managing Director of Power NI said:<\/p>\n

\u201cPower NI are delighted to be supporting Cancer Fund for Children’s Twilight Concert for a second year in a row. Cancer Fund for Children does tremendously valuable work across Northern Ireland for those young people diagnosed with cancer, their families and their communities. We look forward to November 21st and what promises to be a wonderful night for a great cause.\u201d<\/p>\n

After experiencing their own childhood cancer diagnosis, the McMillan family were supported by Cancer Fund for Children and will be performing at the event as part of the Care Free Choir.<\/p>\n

Speaking on their involvement, they said:<\/p>\n

\u201cChoir gives us a chance to come together with other families that have been through similar situations. It allows us to support each other as a group through laughter and music and to celebrate our successes and process our tougher moments together as a choir family.\u201d<\/p>\n

Each week in Northern Ireland, approximately 3 children and young people (aged 0-24) are diagnosed with cancer. Purchasing tickets to this event will help fund Cancer Fund for Children\u2019s vital services so they can be there for families when they need them most.<\/p>\n

Tickets can be purchased on the charity\u2019s website today where you can also find out more about this organisation and how you can support. Visit https:\/\/cancerfundforchildren.com\/event\/twilight-concert\/<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
