Cricket Fans Fighting Cancer

“The event was a great success, and we got some really positive feedback! We hope to organise future charity events for IKCA.” –Sobia Ahmad.

Sobia Ahmad, Saima Khan and Junaid Khan hosted a sell-out charity event on Saturday the 7^th of May at London’s Mumtaz restaurant. The company was wonderful, the food was great and there was an auction of must-have cricket memorabilia for those die-hard cricket and Imran Khan fans. Live music rounded off a perfect evening, with Abbas Ali delivering some Pakistani favourites.

The three friends and their guests raised in excess of £9,000 in aid of cancer patients at Shaukat Khanum Memorial Cancer Hospital (SKMCH). A staggering sum for a single evening!
