A MILLIONAIRES' night in Darlington will raise cash for charity.

Darlington Rotaract and Crook Rotary Club members are organising the event to raise funds for The Cancer Research Campaign on Friday, at Darlington College of Technology, from 7.30pm.

Organiser Melanie Cormack, of Darlington Rotaract, decided to hold the extravaganza as the flagship event of her presidency of the group.

The money raised will be divided equally between the Cancer Research Campaign and The Skin Treatment and Research Trust (Start).

Entertainment will include roulette, pontoon and black jack, plus a magic show.

Tickets costing £11 are available on (01325) 244548.

The dress code is formal, with fancy dress as gangsters or molls optional.

The Cancer Research Campaign's community fundraiser, Rebecca Laverick, said: "There is still time to get tickets for what is sure to be a fantastic night's entertainment. Please join us if you can and remember money raised on the night will go towards helping our scientists continue finding new and better treatments for cancer sufferers."
