Relay for life Team Ringolettes

Donation protected
I am a married mother of 3 children who joined Relay for life in plymouth 2 yrs ago to raise funds for cancer research uk. Myself and my step Mum Nancy Diston set up TEAM RINGOLETTES in Honour off my Dad  and husband to Nancy Diston,
My Dad used to be a DJ RINGO back in the 70's 80's 90's but sadly passed away Dec 2015 and we are absolutely gutted and deeply upset by what happened at our charity event on Friday 30TH march 6pm-8 PM.
We had organised a children's Easter Party which took place at JUMP 123 Christian Mill Business Park in Plymouth to Raise Funds for charity after an successful time and seeing all the children happy and smiling especially when they received an Easter egg from the Easter Bunny at the end, when the event started myself and volunteer member had collected funds from parents for thier child/s to enter jump, after it calmed down I had taken the notes from the donation bucket as thier was around £400 in total and did not want to leave all this money in bucket as they were not sealed so I had placed Money (notes) in a white Box and wrote funds on it and thought placing the box in my handbag would have been the safest place but I was wrong, Some low life had been to my Bag and stole all the donations we had raised for cancer research uk. CCTV have been looked at to see if anyone had taken the it from my bag which was placed with everyones coats in my team, Police had been contacted and with nothing showing on the CCTV they cannot do a thing about it. I am deeply frustrated and upset by this how anyone could STEEP so low and steel from charity which I am very fond off and close to our hearts all my friends are rallying around to help me and my team raise the £400 back, I had paid Jump a week in advance to secure our charity event which I paid for from our teams PayPal funds which were paid for from stall holders as TEAM Ringolettes have organised a summer Festival in July, the funds raised on the night from the Easter Party was going back to PayPal and the rest what we raised would have been donated to our online relay for life plymouth Team Ringolettes page which pay straight to CANCER RESEARCH UK. I will do my best to get it back and would like in anyway for the public to help my team to raise what was stolen, if anyone can help us to donate as little we will be most gratefull, please please help us Thankyou for taking the time to read and i have now learnt from my mistakes to where money bag strapped to my waist and seal all donation boxes. if anyone had seen anything please contact police,
