ORGANISERS of the Oscar Fradgley Proms Night are appealing for people to donate prizes for a raffle and an auction.
The Oscar's Proms is to be held at Stourbridge Town Hall on Saturday March 31 and tickets have been so in demand that the event has sold out without the need to advertise.
People who want to support the event but who haven't been able to purchase tickets can still help by donating prizes for the raffle and auction that will take place in the interval or by buying advertising space in the programmes.
Organiser Chris Dunn, director of Swinford Insurance Consultants in Kinver said: "We are after signed footballs or football shirts, or people giving up their seats in a box at the Wolves or West Bromwch match as a prize."
The evening is being organised to help Kingswinford tot Oscar Fradgley who was born with no hands or feet, suffers from a rare incurable disease, facial palsy and eyesight problems, His parents Lisa and Chris set up a fund to raise £100,000 to ensure Oscar has a brighter future and also to pay for artificial legs.
