Firecracker Ball has sparkling plans for 25th anniversary
ORGANISERS have announced exciting plans to celebrate the 25th anniversary milestone for the Yorkshire Firecracker Ball this year.
The prestigious event – one of the high spots in the Yorkshire social calendar – which raises considerable funds for Barnardo’s causes across Yorkshire, will take place on Saturday November 9, once again in a bespoke marquee at the stunning Rudding Park Hotel in Harrogate.
An ‘Indian Summer’ themed backdrop is to play host to the celebrations with a number of new surprises in store for the hundreds of guests at the black tie event.
High profile celebrity performances and ‘money can’t buy’ auction prizes are promised and the direct beneficiaries of this year’s fundraising will soon be announced.
The Barnardo’s Priory Family Centre in Barnsley was last year’s beneficiary. Funds are helping to make sure that the centre can continue to offer services that are in strong demand by the local community, including a holiday club for children with complex health needs including physical disabilities, life limiting conditions and learning disabilities.
Leeds based property firm Evans Property Group retains lead sponsorship of the event for the 11th year running. The Leeds office of UBS Wealth Management and law firm, Bond Dickinson, which recently rebranded, have both also confirmed co-sponsorship after a hugely successful occasion last year.
TheBusinessDesk.com is the media partner for the prestigious event.
The Firecracker Ball has become the most significant event in the Yorkshire social calendar helping to change the lives of thousands of children and young people across Yorkshire. Since 2002 the ball has raised more than £1.3m for Barnardo’s causes…..a record breaking £205,000 last year alone.
The Firecracker Ball committee is actively seeking support from individuals and businesses in the region who are interested in sponsorship packages, table bookings or donating auction or other prizes for the charity.
