Karis May Variety show draws huge crowd of 5,000 and raises £8,000
THIS year’s Karis May Darling Foundation Variety Show raised more than £8,000 for the charity.
More than 5,000 people attended the event at Gable Hall School.
Performers on the main stage included the Tootsie Rollers, Brooklyn Lammiman and the Duallers.
The charity provides support and opportunities for underprivileged children through performing arts and sports, in memory of Karis May Darling, who died, aged 12, in 2011, after contracting a bug called streptococcus A, which can develop into meningitis. Her family set up the foundation.
