HERE'S A new one: a 'Celebrity Teapot and Art Auction' will be staged by the Pauline Brown Committee, in collaboration with the Jamaica Cancer Society, next Sunday at 4:00 p.m. at the Mona Visitors' Lodge, University of the West Indies.
The event is a new fund-raising initiative to provide financial assistance for persons affected by cancer - breast cancer in particular.
As a novel attraction, well-known persons from all sectors of society have been asked to decorate and autograph teapots, which will be auctioned at this event.
Among the local personalities who have decorated pots are: the Prime Minister-designate Portia Simpson Miller, Sean Paul, Shaggy, former Prime Minister Edward Seaga, Oliver Clarke, O.J., and Herb McKenley, O.M.
Proceeds from this event will provide financial aid for cancer survivors through the Pauline Brown Fund, which was started in June in honour of the late Pauline Brown, who was a breast cancer survivor and a very active member of the Jamaica Cancer Society and Jamaica Reach to Recovery.
