EXTRAORDINARY EVENT

A massive congratulations to Willow Foundation for their 20th anniversary ball, which raised a whopping £424,000! All the money raised will go towards providing psychological and emotional support for seriously ill 16-40 year olds, and LarsonJuhl is incredibly proud to have framed £2,787 worth of the total income. Items auctioned included a signed glove from Anthony Joshua OBE, an Arsenal vs. Milan Legends signed shirt and a Mauricio Pochettino signed Tottenham shirt. Founded in 1999 by former Arsenal player Bob Wilson and his wife Megs, following the tragic loss of their 31 year old daughter to a rare cancer, the charity has provided almost 17,000 special days for young adults living with a range of life-threatening conditions including cancer, motor neurone disease, cystic fibrosis and Huntington’s disease.
