The CWAC Red Carpet Ball
Children with AIDS Charity is holding a glamorous
fund raising Ball on 3rd March 2012, to celebrate
the first 20 years of the charity. It will be held
at the St Pancras Renaissance Hotel in London, with the
opulence and splendor of the venue contributing to
the atmosphere of the night.
The theme of the Ball is 'A Night at the Oscars'
and guests are invited to attend as their
favourite movie stars. On arrival, filming will be
taking place and guests will be invited to chat
to Show Me The Funny's Kate Copstick.
Then they'll ascend the hotel's famous staircase - named
Europe's Grandest Staircase and featured in both Batman Returns and the Spice Girls' movie
Spice World) - and attend a champagne
reception, where the new arrivals can be viewed on
large screen within the room.
The main event will take place in Hansom Hall,
a spectacular ballroom.
Your host for the evening is Gyles Brandreth. The night
begins with a sumptuous meal accompanied by the magical music
of The Puppini Sisters. This will be followed by an auction
to help generate much needed money for Children With AIDS Charity.
After the auction DJ Michelle Manetti, a regular at Tiger Tiger
and Soho House will, we hope, inspire you to dance the night away.
The Red Carpet Ball will have all the fun and
excitement associated with previous CWAC Balls,
and the old team has been reassembled to create 'a
night to remember'.
All the funds raised on the evening will go to
support the work of the charity particularly the
CWAC Hardship Fund, which provides essential items for
both HIV-infected and affected children. Seventy per
cent of the families we support live below
the poverty line and in the current climate of job
losses and benefit cuts the demand on our
resources is ever increasing. If an HIV-infected or
affected child living in poverty lacks a warm winter coat,
for example, or a bed and bedding, then this has an impact
on their health. It is our job to help children stay as
well as possible and we can only do this if we can raise
the funds to meet demand.
Tables are selling at £1,500 for a table of ten diners.
