Hospice ball promises night to remember
6 August 2018
Barnsley Hospice is inviting people of South Yorkshire to dig out their evening gowns and dinner jackets for the return of its ‘Oh What a Night’ charity ball.
The black-tie event takes place on Friday 14 September from 7:30pm at the Holiday Inn in Dodworth, Barnsley, and includes a drinks reception, celebration meal and cabaret.
Entertainment will be provided by The Seasons - a modern tribute to the legendary 70s band Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons - and local magician Andy Taylor.
Barnsley Hospice is hoping the event will attract people from across South Yorkshire. Martyn Hughes, events fundraiser at Barnsley Hospice, said: “This is a great opportunity to get your glad rags on and indulge in a fantastic night of entertainment. It’s a perfect event to enjoy with work colleagues or friends, or to entertain clients - with the added bonus of helping the patients and families who need us.”
Barnsley Hospice has to raise over £2m a year to care for patients, in addition to £1.6m funding from the NHS Clinical Commissioning Group (CCG). The charity provides specialist care for anyone in the borough with a life-limiting illness, including cancer, motor neurone disease and heart disease.
The ‘Oh What a Night’ ball is sponsored by C.D. Potter & Sons and Hiltons Electrical.
Tickets cost £50 per person, or £500 for a table of ten. For more information or to book your place, visit www.barnsleyhospice.org or contact Martyn Hughes on 01226 244244.
