Sunita Arora, Arora Charitable Foundation, commented: “We are delighted to launch our fourth Arora Ball in support of these two important UK charities Royal Marsden Cancer Charity and Macmillan Cancer Support. This year is particularly poignant for us as sadly we’ve lost a fellow colleague from the Arora Group and a dear friend to cancer. The Arora Ball is a real highlight in the industry calendar and gives us an opportunity to help the nominated causes through your generosity, while enjoying an evening of fine dining, entertainment and illustrious company.”
