The Grand Gala dinner and red carpet event was held on Saturday June 1st 2024 at Ingliston Estate and Country Club located in-between Glasgow City Centre and Loch Lomond. The Hollywood-themed grand ball for 500 guests included a drinks reception, a three-course dinner with silent and live auction. Throughout the night, guests were entertained by a number of stars and top-tier music performers with an impressive line-up ball hosted by TV Presenters Danni Menzies (Channel 4's, A Place in the Sun) and Phil MacHugh (BBC's, Norwegian Fling) and a special performance by Heather Small from M People.
Money raised on the night exceeded £210,000 and Nico Simeone’s continuous support through a series of team events across their sixteen Six by Nico locations in England, Scotland, Wales and Ireland and at their Beat 6 restaurant in Glasgow since the groups partnership's inception in 2021 has resulted in a total donation of £1,060,000 to date.
Beat 6 in Bearsden, located at 149 Milngavie Road, opened in April 2023 and offers a delicious combination of unique food and social good. The restaurant's 100% profits go directly to Beatson Cancer Charity where visitors are encouraged to "Dine to Donate" and can enjoy a monthly changing set menu that provides an interactive and unique eating experience. Beat 6's mezzanine level features a unique private dining area ideal for meetings, events, and fundraising dinners.
Six Company Chief Executive and founder Nico Simeone said: "Everyone at Six Company and Beat 6 has been working hard to increase our support for the Beatson Cancer Charity. Hosting a ball felt like the ideal way to commemorate Beatson's 10-year anniversary. 'The Great Gala' was an incredible occasion for us to bring together our communities that support the charity while also celebrating everything that our teams and supporters have done so far.
"We are incredibly humbled and appreciative for having brought the Beat 6 to this stage, and we are overwhelmed by the support we have received in raising over £1 million to date. We look forward to continuing to aid and support Beatson Cancer Charity. Our efforts would not have been possible without the support of our communities and those attending on the night."
The fundraising from Beat 6 will contribute towards numerous projects including the development of a Cytoreductive Surgery and Hyperthermic Intraperitoneal Chemotherapy (HIPEC) Service for patients with colorectal cancer peritoneal metastasis and a portable echo machine which will be used to conduct bedside echocardiograms. The portable echo machine will allow echocardiograms to be carried out at the patient’s bedside without the need to move them, which will help to improve patient comfort and enhance The Beatson’s echo service.
Martin Cawley, CEO of Beatson Cancer Charity, said: "This was such a special occasion. The team at Beat 6 and Six by Nico pulled out all the stops to organise a wonderful event. Everyone had a great time, but they all knew exactly what they were raising funds for. On behalf of everyone at Beatson Cancer Charity I want to say a huge thank you to Nico and his team. To raise over £210,000 on the night and in doing so break the £1 million barrier is staggering. We are hugely indebted to Nico and his staff.
"We provide a wide range of services at The Beatson and beyond to help improve the experience for people who have cancer. We also fund many innovative research projects which will contribute towards finding better treatment options and hopefully cures in the future. Quite simply we could not do this without the support of so many people like Nico and his team."
Beat 6 is open Thursday - Sunday weekly for lunch and dinner at 149 Milngavie Rd, Bearsden, Glasgow, G61 3DY
