On Thursday 12th November, Deutsche Bank hosted a fantastic charity ball in aid of Sparks and World Child Cancer. Hosted by Lawrence Shaw and Louise Kitchen, the evening raised over £250,000 in total for both charities, an amazing amount thanks to the generosity of all attendees.
Sparks Life President Sir Geoff Hurst MBE and Sophie Christiansen OBE attended on behalf of Sparks and spoke movingly of why they support the charity. Zoe North also told guests about her personal journey with cerebral palsy and received a standing ovation from all attendees.
Entertainment on the night was provided by David Harry, Aaron Sparks, Gandini Juggling, The Neales and All Sway, who ensured that guests had a fantastic evening. TV auctioneer Charles Hanson oversaw the live auction with his usual panache.
A huge thanks to the Deutsche Bank Ball Committee whose hard work behind the scenes made this incredible night possible. Photos from the evening can be seen on the Sparks flickr account and a big thank you to Chris Rudio and Chia Lau for donating their photography for free.
