With Ibiza summer 2008 coming to a close, it´s time once again to think Charity Fund Raising by way of the 3rd Annual Butterfly Ball.
This year, the organisers of the event have chosen local Ibiza association for disabled children, APNEEF as the charity of choice, with all monies raised at The Butterfly Ball being donated to that particular worthy cause.
APNEEF attends nearly 100 local children with severe physical and mental disabilities and is in dire need of proper funding and support.
The Butterfly Ball of 2007 was an outstanding success and raised nearly 12k for Macmillan Cancer Support and it's Spanish equivalent, AECC.
Nearly 7k of that came by way of the celebrity auction with signed and personal items having been donated from the likes of David Beckham, Steven Gerrard, Pau Gasol, Mark Ronson, Kaiser Chiefs, Pete Tong, Marcos Torres, Gary Cook, Fatboy Slim, Manumission, Ibiza Rocks, Hed Kandi and many more.
This year's Ball will once again take place in Hotel Es Vive, on Wednesday 8 October, and donations are already coming in for auction by various well known personalities from the worlds of music, theatre, art and sport.
The night will follow pretty much the same formula as last year with a few extras - champagne reception, dinner, auction, live acts, DJs and a bit of an all round knees up - and all for a great island cause (these kids really do need help).
Want to get involved ?
If you would like to help out there are many ways to get involved ...
All donations are gratefully received, and if you have something lurking round your home or office that you think might raise a bob or two, maybe you can consider donating that to the cause.
The Butterfly Ball are always looking for collaborators, sponsors and investors to help take this fundraiser to the next level. If you or your company would like to make a cash donation directly to APNEEF, that would also be very welcomed.
