The event, at St Neots Football Club, is in memory of Rebecca's little sister Olivia who was born a week early in March 2005 weighing just two pounds. The baby, who was treated at the special care unit, lived for just nine days but the family have paid tribute to the unit's staff who tried so hard to save her.
INFORMATION: From 7pm to midnight. Entry, £1 for adults, 50p for children and there will be a children's raffle with sweets.
