Leuka Mini Masters

Last night was a night I will remember for the rest of my life. Leuka Mini Masters is an event that the group I am Interning with works very hard towards each and every year. It is a fundraiser for Leukemia and it is hosted by Dougray Scott, the actor who plays the villain in Mission Impossible II. It is held in the Penthouse of The May Fair Hotel in London. It is just a great way to get people together to raise money for this disease, they put a putting green outside on the balcony of the Penthouse, it is the highest putting green in London. Each guest pays about $15 to give it a shot, and all the money raised goes to the Leuka Foundation. The event was so much fun last night, my job was to be in charge of the guest list and VIP's aka the UK celebs! So I was that person at the front door saying "Yes your on the list, No I'm sorry your not" Kinda went something like that, but I had so much fun doing it. Later on once everyone was inside, myself & a couple of my amazing friends that I brought along got the opportunity to go from guest to guest asking to sell raffle tickets to be put into a hat and later on one would be picked to win Clive Christian perfume. This perfume is the most expensive perfume in the world, with a price tag of over $1,300!! So as the night continued and we went from person to person, we came across this older gentleman who seemed to be a friendly guy and he offered to give a donation of about $30 he told me that if he won the perfume he would give it to me. So I was like you got yourself a deal. As the night came to an end and my friend Amanda pulled a name out of the hat and it was HIS!! So guess who now owns the most expensive perfume in the world...ME! All in all I guess you could say it was an awesome night & I had a blast. Being around big names in the UK is one way to get your name out there and make connections, it is a night I will always remember.
