IOD CHARITY BALL

We held our inaugural Ball last week, and everyone at Emma’s Embrace -It’s Our Day would like to say a massive thank you to everyone that made it happen.

So, without further ado.... THANK YOU!!!!!!

To:

Walker Morris Solicitors for sponsoring a table,

Pure Retirement for sponsoring 2 tables,

Make This Mine for supplying the scissors, hairspray tubes and display boards at cost.

Hoek Flowers who provided the most beautiful flowers free of charge and to Tina Goddard who arranged them free of charge, you can see from the photos that between them the most amazing table centres were produced.

Thank you to everyone who donated gifts for our Silent Auction:

Boutique on the Lane, TODHUNTER England, John Lewis Leeds , Leeds Rhinos, Northern Rail, Glamorous Nails.

A special Thank you to:

Leeds Rhinos Foundation for sending Jammie Jones Buchanan who’s after dinner talk was hugely entertaining.

Ben Taylor aka The Yorkshire Prose who kept the evening flowing whilst entertaining us.

Evie Hobson an exceptional young singer who kept us entertained predinner

All gave their time up free of charge and their contribution ensured the night was a huge success.

Oultan Hall for all your guidance, Central Avenue for your splendid performance that kept the room alive.

Everyone who bought a ticket we hope you enjoyed the evening as much as we did.

Finally, a special shout out to Penny Carter, our Treasurer, who designed and organised the entire event.

We are so pleased to share that we raised over £3500 which is amazing in this current economic climate!!!!

Every penny will go towards the running of our Student Outreach project and this year we will be working in partnership with 2 other organisations- Battle Scars & Leeds Sanctuary-to deliver easy to access workshops running alongside the Breakfast Club, with the same inclusive, preventative principles attached.

We can’t wait to share the results with you, in the meantime from everyone at Emma’s Embrace-It’s Our Day..Thank you from the bottom of our hearts, we could not have done this without you.
