Holly’s Hearts – Bringing Joy to Children Battling Cancer and Raising Awareness Through Heart-warming Initiatives
Welcome to this week’s exciting edition of Spotlight On! We’re thrilled to feature Sue from Holly’s Hearts, a truly inspiring charity founded in memory of Holly Prince, who bravely battled cancer and the extremely rare Bloom Syndrome before passing away at the age of 5 in 2022. Determined to honour Holly’s legacy, the Prince family launched Holly’s Hearts with a mission to bring smiles and joy to children fighting cancer. Through thoughtful gifts, unforgettable experiences, and much-needed respite breaks, they’re creating heart-warming memories that last a lifetime and help kids through their toughest treatments.
Sue recently reached out to us with a fun request—quirky trolley coins to include in the thank-you bags for their upcoming charity ball! We’re so excited to be a part of this wonderful cause. Let’s dive in and see what Sue had to say about raising awareness and the incredible impact Holly’s Hearts is making.
Can you walk us through your event, its mission, and the impact you aimed to achieve?
The Holly’s Hearts Charity Ball took place on June 7th at the Bolton Wanderers Stadium, and it was an unforgettable night! This bi-annual event is all about raising awareness for our cause while fundraising to support children battling cancer. Founded in memory of Holly Prince, our charity’s mission is to “create heart-warming memories for children with cancer.” Thanks to the funds raised that evening, we’ll be able to provide even more families with personalised gifts such as theatre tickets, football hospitality experiences, iPads, and Lego, along with meaningful moments to help brighten their journey. From weekend getaways to custom items like a specially-designed pram, we are committed to bringing joy and comfort to these courageous children and their families.
The night was filled with incredible entertainment, including a fantastic Freddie Mercury tribute act, an exciting raffle, and a spirited auction. One of the most memorable highlights? One of our trustees had his hair shaved off live on stage! A particularly touching moment was the heartfelt speech from Holly’s parents, who were deeply moved by the evening’s overwhelming support and expressed their heartfelt thanks to everyone. It was a truly unforgettable event, full of excitement and all in support of a wonderful cause.
What were the key indicators you aimed for to declare your event a roaring success?

We had no idea just how big a hit the charity ball would be, but it surpassed all our expectations! We raised an incredible £28,000, far exceeding what we had hoped for. The energy in the room was electric, and to top it off, people were so impressed that they’ve already pre-booked tickets for our 2026 event. It was an unforgettable night and a huge win for Holly’s Hearts!
How did you connect with Hotline and why were they the perfect partner to support your event with promotional items?
As a trustee, I reached out to several companies, hoping one would see the potential and help us bring our vision to life. I had this idea to give every guest a thank-you bag to show our appreciation, filled with small, sustainable gifts. When I contacted Hotline, they jumped on board without hesitation, immediately getting behind our cause and helping us make it happen. It was the perfect partnership from the start!
What inspired you to choose trolley coins as your primary promotional product, and what features did you find most appealing?
Trolley coins immediately came to mind because they’re such practical, everyday items that anyone can use. You can attach them to your keys, so they’re always handy and you will never lose them! When you suggested the ‘Keep It Trolley Coin’, it was a perfect fit—it had enough space for our logo and tagline to be prominently displayed, even while in use. Friends have even spotted it in my trolley and asked where they could get one!
Plus, the eco-friendly aspect was a huge bonus. These coins were the ideal addition to our thank-you bags—useful, sustainable, and a great way to keep Holly’s Hearts in mind.
How was your experience with the promotional products and the ordering process?
The whole process was incredibly smooth and hassle-free! After I sent over our logo, you quickly provided a mock-up of the trolley key for approval. The ordering couldn’t have been easier, especially since you generously donated them to support us. Despite our tight deadline—just three weeks before the event—there were no issues at all. The trolley keys arrived well ahead of schedule, giving us plenty of time to add them to our thank-you bags. It was a seamless experience from start to finish, and the final product was absolutely perfect!
Future Insights: Now that the event has wrapped up, what key takeaways could guide future endeavours?
The feedback on our thank-you bags was incredible! Our guests absolutely loved them and saw them as a thoughtful touch, creating a lasting memory of the night and Holly’s Hearts. The trolley coins really elevated the evening, and because they were such a hit, we’re definitely planning to include them in future events. Who knows—maybe we’ll have the pleasure of partnering with you again to create another personalised, standout product for the next one!
