Our 70th Birthday Platinum Ball
Posted on 22nd September 2024 at 13:27
We’re having a big birthday this year – and a platinum party to celebrate!
It’s only a few weeks away, and there are only a few tickets left! The Embrace 70th Birthday Platinum Ball is all set for Saturday 26 October, and we couldn’t be more excited. Here’s what to expect on the night, how to get your tickets, and how to snap up one of our sponsorship slots…
The Night of the Ball
The doors of the Bedford Corn Exchange will be opening at 6:30pm to welcome our guests, all dressed up in their black-tie best, and ready for a magical evening.
Bubbles are top of the agenda, with a champagne reception on arrival – during which you can also browse the fantastic auction and raffle prizes that could be yours later in the evening.
Then it will be time to eat, with a sit-down, three-course meal with wine accompanying, and followed by coffee and mints to finish it off – but you won’t want to get too comfortable, because our live auction will be taking place next. Run by auctioneer Sam Roberts, and with some fantastic lots up for grabs, don’t miss out on placing the winning bid!
As the auction excitement comes to a close, the party will really get started as our live band takes the stage. The Sonics, a hugely talented pop and rock band, will be playing us into the early hours with some absolute dance floor classics - guaranteed to get your toes tapping and feet flying.
The ball will run on until 1am, when carriages are due and we’ll all be ready for bed after an unforgettable night!
The Auctions and Raffle
As well as the on-the-night sale, we’re also running a silent auction from a week before the ball, and throughout the evening as well, which can accept bids online. This is being run and managed by Superstars, who will be there on the night to help support people with bidding as well – they’ve been helping to run fundraising auctions for charities since 2003, and ensure that there will be something for everyone on the night.
All items will be on display on the night, and there are some really fantastic lots up for grabs: such as Coldplay items, a holiday in a Holistic Thinking Holidays caravan, a Dunster House Climbing Frame, and a one-off golf day at a local Bedfordshire Golf Club - plus many more!
We are so grateful to all our very generous lot donors, and we can’t wait to show you what else is available on the night.
There will also be a raffle, with a range of prizes to be won – tickets will be on sale throughout the evening, and winners will be drawn on the night. There really is an opportunity to win for every budget!
Be a Star Sponsor
We’d love to give you the opportunity to showcase your business through our publicity for the ball, and sponsor an aspect of this fabulous celebration for us as well. All of our sponsors will be featured in our ball brochure, and our larger sponsors will have a full page. Your logo will be featured on a big screen which will be scrolling throughout the night at the event, and we will also do social media shout-outs for all sponsors.
We have set sponsorship packages available, and you can also choose to be the sole sponsor of a specific aspect of the night as well! We’re still looking for sponsorship of the following, and we’d love to have your name down as the generous donor:
Band: £1800
Table décor: £1000
Wine: £270
Video: £1400
Every penny of sponsorship we secure will mean that more of the ticket sales can be ploughed back into the charity. So why not become a sole sponsor for one part of this unforgettable night, raise your business profile, and help us to do even more to support our families and young people? Please contact Kelly at fundraising@embrace.org.uk for more information.
Be Part of Our Platinum Party
Tickets for this night to remember are £70 each, including the champagne reception, a three-course meal with wine, and of course the dancing into the night as well.
We have very limited space left but if you would like to book any seats, or perhaps a table (between 8 and 12 people) please get in touch as soon as possible. Please contact Kelly at fundraising@embrace.org.uk to book your tickets, or for more information about sponsorship.
