Following the success of the inaugural Reigate Charity Ball in 2015, the event organisers are busy organising this years event, the Showtime Ball 2016. Last year’s event with its theme of ‘Alice in Wonderland’ was held at The Old Reigatians’ Rugby Club and raised an incredible £23,500, every penny of which went to support Pancreatic Cancer UK,The Royal Marsden, and St Catherine’s Hospice. This year the event will be held in a marquee within the grounds of Reigate Priory School and looks set to be every inch as good as last year!
Founder of the Reigate Charity Ball, Helen Delaney, wanted to help raise money for these three amazing charities and thought, what better way to raise money than through a fun filled evening of eating, drinking and dancing. Helen and her committee of 5 other local ladies, are working hard to organise this year’s event which takes place on Saturday 2nd July. Robert Leech and Devine Homes plc, along with Metis Wealth, createselect and Panaseer are sponsoring the ball and other local companies are donating their services. The theme this summer is ‘Show Time’ and the venue is Reigate Priory School where a marquee will be erected in the grounds and revellers will dance the night away to the strains of the brilliant band ‘The Blue Rinse’.
As with most good ideas – this one is simple but effective. People love an excuse to dress up and go dancing, to eat, drink and be merry, and will give generously in order to do so. Helen and her team have been absolutely blown away by peoples generosity. Donations can be made via the Virgin Money Giving website, and donated prizes for the raffle, auction and silent auction are very welcome; and if you did miss out on tickets this year, make sure you keep an eye on the ‘Reigate Charity Ball’ Facebook page ready for when next year’s tickets go on sale. This is an event set to run and run (or should that be dance and dance…?).
