Invitation from Sidney Sussex College, Cambridge, seeking sponsorship partners for its 2010 May Ball

Founded in 1596, Sidney Sussex College, Cambridge is an idyllic representation of a traditional Cambridge University college.

It boasts an excellent location on Sidney Street in the very centre of the city. Elizabethan brickwork, a charming Cloister Court, a haunting Chapel, exquisite rococo Hall, mediaeval cellars and beautiful ancient gardens all lie within its walls.

Cambridge May Balls are a traditional way for Cambridge colleges to celebrate the end of the academic year. They are renowned as some of the most impressive and extravagant events in the world.

This year, Sidney Sussex hopes to continue this tradition, providing over 1,500 guests with an evening of fine dining and fantastic entertainment. In the past, Sidney May Balls have been labelled as 'an emerging contender for the greatest show on earth' and as consistently rivalling and, more often than not, exceeding its competitors. 'Aurora', Sidney's 2008 May Ball, was said to have 'really embarrassed the efforts of other balls with twice the budget. It was a real stormer!'

Held within Sidney's charming grounds, Sidney Sussex May Balls never fail to sell out, with guests including prominent alumni, renowned business figures and students from across the University. Sidney Sussex May Ball 2010 will have considerable local and nationwide exposure.

Publicity

In addition to this, the Ball's publicity will be directed at over 15,000 Cambridge students in all thirty-one Cambridge colleges through a variety of methods. These include its website (www.mayball.com), tickets, programmes, a banner that will be seen by over 60,000 people and a range of other promotional material, such as posters and flyers.

Sidney Sussex May Ball 2010 is raising money for Great Ormond Street Children's Charity (© 2007 Great Ormond Street Hospital Children's Charity. Registered Charity no. 235825).

"In order to raise as much money as we can for our partner charity", say the organisers, "Sidney Sussex May Ball 2010 will be donating a percentage of money made from ticket sales, and will also give at least 5% of the total amount raised from sponsorship. Therefore, if you choose to sponsor or donate money to Sidney Sussex May Ball 2010, 5% of whatever you give will go direct to Great Ormond Street Hospital Children's Charity.

"Sponsoring Sidney Sussex May Ball 2010 is a fantastic opportunity for any company looking to increase its exposure amongst a lucrative student market".
