Throwback Thursday - Fundraising Auctions raise £20,000 at Midsummer Ball

Saturday 24th June we attended the Hilton Brighton Metropole’s Night at the Musicals themed Midsummer Ball. This fantastic event was held to raise the vital funds needed to help the young people of Sussex. The four charities who are to benefit from the funds raised are Chestnut Tree House, Chailey Heritage Foundation, The Starr Trust and Action Medical Research for Children.

We were extremely happy to once again provide our service and run the silent auction which raised over £20,000.00. We used our interactive auction service which meant that guests were bidding on their smart phones and tablets. With a selection of donated items we also provided our fantastic range of bespoke auction prizes including a Florida Villa, Henley Champagne & Canape Cruise, Private Dining for 10 People at Gordon Ramsay’s maze and more! There was more fundraising throughout the night including a live auction, raffles and other fundraising games.

Part of the evening’s entertainment was a dance and singing competition that reflects the theme of the evening. Each beneficiary charity selected a charity competitor to represent their cause. With three judges and a room full of attendees each charity gave their best performance and everyone loved it! Tables were then asked to vote for their winner by putting cash into a specific envelope of their choice which raised over £4,000.00 on the night. The winner was Anthony Nelson who performed on behalf of Action Medical Research with a great performance of Singing in the Rain.

The night itself raised over £100,000.00 which is an incredible amount and will help hundreds of sick, disabled and vulnerable young people in Sussex.

What Our Clients Say...

A fantastic service! A great way to boost funds at any fundraising event. We had a lot going on on the night with a live auction and prize draws too. We wanted to maximise our opportunity to raise funds but as a small committee we did not have the bandwidth to manage any more. The silent auction, so well managed by the Fundraising Auctions team, was an excellent way to increase our fundraising and added a another dimension to the activities presented to our guests to get involved and support our campaign. Highly recommended and will most definitely use them again for another event in the future.
