BFF Ball success
July 26, 2018
Guests at the 2018 BFF Summer Ball – sponsored by Seven Investment Management – raised more than £30,000 for the charity’s morale-boosting work.
All the funds raised at the glamorous black-tie event at The Berkeley in London will be spent on delivering projects for British servicemen and women around the world.
The evening – attended by some 180 BFF supporters – was opened in true style by the soprano Alicia Lowes from the classical cross-over world.
After the mayhem of the Charity’s traditional ‘stand up, sit down bingo’ guests were then entertained with an hilarious visit by US President Donald Trump – aka comedian Mike Osman, himself a BFF Vice President.
Guests dug deep for both the loud and silent auctions, as well as the raffle, to boost the fundraising figure.
The BFF would like to thank Seven Investment Management for sponsoring the evening, and Platinum Table sponsors Roseville and Rear Admiral Sir Donald Gosling KVCO.
The charity is extremely grateful to all those who supported and contributed to the Ball including: Aromatherapy Associates, The Berkeley, BMW/MINI Forces Sales, Cheltenham Racecourse, Chiltern Firehouse, Ellenborough Park Hotel, Gleneagles, Hayes Garden World, Hyatt Regency London, The Lanesborough, Ms Alicia Lowes, M Bar & Grill, Mr & Mrs Steve Norris, Mr Mike Osman, The Panto Bus, Perowne International, Powerbeds.com, James Purdy & Sons, The Royal Navy, Stoke Park and The Waterside Inn.
