Licence to Celebrate

Celebrating 40 Years of Life
Friday 15 October 2027

Get ready for a very special evening as we celebrate 40 years since Kaylee Davidson-Olley received the heart transplant that gave her a second chance at life.

Licence to Celebrate will be an elegant James Bond-inspired black-tie gala, bringing together the people who have been part of Kaylee’s extraordinary journey while raising vital funds for the Children’s Heart Unit Fund (CHUF).

An unforgettable evening for an incredible cause

Inspired by the glamour of James Bond and a little 007 magic, the evening will combine celebration, entertainment and fundraising.

Guests can look forward to an arrival drinks reception, Blackjack and Roulette tables, a three-course dinner with coffee, entertainment, a charity raffle and plenty of opportunities to support CHUF throughout the evening.

Most importantly, we want it to be a night filled with laughter, memories and celebration.

A celebration of Kaylee’s remarkable 40-year journey.

A celebration of the medical professionals who have cared for her.

And a celebration of the incredible gift of organ donation that made it all possible.

Raising funds for CHUF

The gala has one very important fundraising goal – to raise as much as possible for CHUF.

Through ticket sales, sponsorship, fundraising activities and support on the night, we hope this milestone can create a legacy that helps make a difference to children and families for years to come.
