Leicester based Vic Sethi, along with his wife Dimple Sethi were pleased and honoured to have been invited by Claire and John Caudwell, to the Butterfly ball, at the Grosvenor House, in London.
The event raised an amount of over £2 million on the night for “Caudwell Children”. The event comprised of celebrities such as Rod Stuart and Sir Bruce Forsyth, as well as live performances by Lionel Richie, Tito Jackson, plus many more.
Caudwell Children provides family support services, equipment, treatment & therapies for disabled children and their families across the UK. It also runs its Enable Sport programme for talented disabled athletes, as well as its Destination Dreams holiday for children fighting life threatening conditions.
Vic Sethi, who is the Chief Patron of Crimestoppers Leicestershire and Rutland, as well as the first ever Culture Ambassador to the Leicester Cathedral during the reburial of King Richard the III said, “In a flight travelling back from Hong Kong to Birmingham, Claire invited me and Dimple to join her and John for a private dinner at their residence in Mayfair. At the same time, she explained about the Butterfly Ball charity and requested us to book the date and join them for the event too.”
His wife, Dimple Sethi said, “Almost everyone was in tears when John introduced a couple of the children who had benefited from the charity. It was a very touchy moment, even John paused for a moment with tears in his eyes while speaking to a little girl who had first time walked with the help of Caudwell Children”.
