We are delighted to share that, through a collaboration between the East India Club Tennis Section and King’s College London, DMTT was selected as the charity partner for a fundraising dinner at the East India Club. Held on 27th of June, “The Wimbledon Dinner” was a great success raising over £10,000 from fundraising during the evening. The 80 guests were entertained by our President Dame Elaine Paige who came as a special guest, alongside Barry Cowan. One of the Trust’s Vice-Presidents Marcus Buckland was Master of Ceremonies and in addition to the fundraising part of the evening, Marcus chatted to Elaine about her 60 year career in showbiz and 15 years as DMTT President as well as her recent Damehood announced in the King’s Birthday Honours List.
Barry Cowan, former British player and now a tennis pundit and commentator gave his insight and views on the Wimbledon Championships. We hope that this evening will mark the start of an exciting fundraising partnership and thank the East India Club for partnering with us to raise much needed funds for our grant aid funding programme.
