TAKE A BOE – Alfie fans’ video marathon for Trinity Hospice

Fans of singing sensation Alfie Boe from all around the world are set to raise money for one of his chosen charities by watching a video marathon of his performances.

Official fan blog and fan cub ‘thoughtsofjustafan’, have organised an ‘Alfie Boe YouTube Marathon’ asking fans to make a donation to Trinity Hospice, where Alfie is Patron, and watch videos of the Fleetwood born ‘Les Misérables’ legend online over 11th and 12th August.

The event was first held last year as part of the ‘Trinity Get Together’ and saw people watching videos across the globe. It raised an incredible £570.

Thoughtsofjustafan blogger Jane Ireland said ‘Alfie Boe fans are generous people and like to support his official charities as much as possible. Fans know that Trinity Hospice and Brian House Children’s Hospice are very close to Alfie’s heart, and so whenever there’s an opportunity they fundraise and donate to this worthwhile charity. Last year’s event was so much fun that we’ve decided to do it all again!’

During the YouTube marathon, Jane will be giving away a Trinity hoodie which has been signed by Alfie to a lucky winner selected at random.

Trinity’s head of fundraising, Linzi Warburton, said ‘We are so incredibly lucky to have someone like Alfie representing our charity internationally, and his fans are extremely generous in supporting us because he is our patron. The Trinity Get Together is all about people coming together and doing something in aid of Trinity Hospice, whether it’s a coffee morning, a meal or a few drinks in the evening. Because Alfie’s fans are spread around the world, thougthsofjustafan held a virtual tea party and the YouTube Marathon last year, and it was just amazing to see donations coming in from different continents! We are looking forward to this year’s marathon weekend.’
