Boogie at the Biscuit
Boogie at the Biscuit was set up by Beth Wright in memory of her husband, RAF Wing Commander Kieran O’Sullivan. Kieran was first diagnosed with a grade 2 astrocytoma in 2001 and underwent multiple surgeries, as well as radiotherapy and chemotherapy. Kieran passed away in November 2018, at the age of 44, almost 17 years after he was first diagnosed with a brain tumour and just two months after leaving his beloved career in the RAF.
The name Boogie at the Biscuit comes from a fun-filled event that Beth first organised in 2019 at The Biscuit Factory, an art gallery and function venue in Newcastle-upon-Tyne. The night saw 270 guests donning their black ties and gowns for an evening of dinner and dancing, as well as an impressive auction and a raffle with dozens of prizes up for grabs. This inaugural evening raised more than £24,000 for Brain Tumour Research in Kieran’s memory and Beth has gone on to hold this successful fundraising event on alternate years ever since, raising over £90,000 to date.
