To celebrate this development in 3D by Panasonic, Paul Carrack and music producer Peter Van Hooke was available to meet staff and visitors at Panasonic UK's head office in Bracknell. Participants could experience a demonstration of Paul's 3D performance watching it on a Panasonic TX-P65VT20 Full-HD 3D VIERA TV and purchase signed copies of his latest album A Different Hat, with all proceeds going to Thames Hospicecare. The sum of £638.27 was raised through donations, merchandise contributions and raffle ticket sales, was matched by Panasonic UK to reach a grand total of £1276.54.
Claire Suggs, Community and Events Fundraiser at Thames Hospicecare, started: "I had a fantastic day at Panasonic on December 1 and enjoyed meeting the very talented Paul Carrack. The atmosphere was great and we are thrilled that so many staff bought CDs and raffle tickets. Panasonic are very generous for matching the raffle money raised, to make the total a massive £1276.54. This is a huge sum of money, and is enough for us to provide 64 hours of specialist nursing care, to a local family. Panasonic are always very supportive of our local hospice, and we are very grateful to them and all their staff."
