GALA BALL ORGANISERS HAVE OCCASION TO SEEK SPONSORSHIP SUPPORT

On 19th November, 2005, Occassions Wedding Coordination and Event Planning is holding a charity event for Children in Need in support of its work with helping disadvantaged children to have a better life. The children include some who are chronically ill or profoundly disabled, some who have been badly treated by the adults around them, some children who live in poverty or inadequate housing and some who are bullied, excluded or distressed. The event will be a Gala Ball, themed White Tie and Diamonds. To create "celebrity" feelings upon the guests' arrival, there will be a red carpet and a champagne reception, followed by a three course dinner. When? - 19th November, 2005, 7.30 - midnight. Where? - the Holiday Inn, Leicester City Centre. Why? To raise money for Pudsey. "If you sponsored us last year, thank you again, we hope that you will be able to donate again this year. If this is your first time, thank you in advance, for joining us. We are hoping for maximum coverage from the BBC and other media, therefore wish to gain as much sponsorship as possible in order to make this the most spectacular event and give maximum advertising for our sponsors". The organisers' needs are as follows:- entertainment: live Band and Disco; raffle prizes; charity auction; bridal fashion show models; sound system, stage, music; champagne; dress hire; monetary contributions towards hotel costs, food and room hire. The organisers also seek monetary contributions towards advertising: radio, direct mail, personal contacts, trade associates, newspapers, magazines, billboards, banners and internet.   Contact: Elaine Jaques.
