These services are funded 100% by the proceeds of the fundraising dinner which is held each year in Luxembourg.
Each year the dinner takes a different theme and welcomes participants to enjoy features a four course meal, cocktail service, tombola, DJ and live entertainment. This year's theme is the legendary New York Discotheque of the 1970s and 80s, Studio 54.
Studio 54 was a magnet for everything celebrity, fashion and hedonistic during the heyday of disco in New York, frequented by the likes of Elton john, Mick Jagger, Michael Jackson, attendees would dance all night to the sound of disco by the likes of Donna Summer, Sylvester and Giorgio Moroder.
