Scottish regional premiere announced for `Quantum of Solace`

16-Sep-2008 • Event

The Herald's Friends of Maggie's campaign has been chosen to host the Scottish Charity Gala Screening of the new James Bond film, Quantum of Solace - and Herald readers are being given the chance to be part of the glamorous event.

The charity gala of Daniel Craig's latest thrilling outing as the danger-loving spy takes place on October 30 at Cineworld in Renfield Street, Glasgow - the day after the London premiere and the day before the blockbuster goes on general release.

On the night there will be fast cars and stars and the funds raised will be donated to Maggie's Cancer Caring Centres. Guests will walk up the red carpet and have the chance to pose for photos with an Aston Martin outside the cinema. There will also be an auction and raffle with lots of exciting prizes.

The charity gala screening is a big boost for The Herald's Friends of Maggie's campaign, which was launched earlier this year to mark The Herald's 225th anniversary. Maggie's and The Herald have been working together to provide lasting support for people affected by cancer.

Maggie's CEO, Laura Lee, said the event promised to be a fabulous night. "We've always said that fundraising is fun but this takes it to a new level, as you can't get much better than glamorous outfits, fast cars, free champagne and the chance to see one of the year's most highly anticipated films before anyone else.

"It is an evening to indulge yourself but it's all guilt free as all the money spent on tickets, raffles and auction prizes goes directly towards helping people affected by cancer."
