Happy Tuesday Everyone

Eeeeeeekkkkkk 2 weeks till our Raffle prize draw and 2 weeks 3 days till the big day ...PANIC

Actually I'm a little worried as things are going great guns at the minute with some fabulous raffle prizes donated and me being left with no tickets to sell although I know that I do have people selling who have some.  If you left it to the last minute to buy don't panic I can get you some.  4000 raffle tickets I'm so amazed Thank You to everyone again who bought any and Thanks to those that sold them on my behalf.

Speaking of Thanks I have to say Thank You to my little brother Daniel and his fabulous friends for sourcing some absolutely superb Auction Items.  Things were looking a bit thin on the ground but he has come up trumps.

My aim this year with the auction is to reach out to those not attending on the night as well, the prizes are money cannot purchase anywhere but here items and to make the most of them I want to offer everyone the chance to bid on them.

Lot #1
A Dedicated and Autographed Golf Glove from a European Tour Golfer of your
choice!
This is a once in a lifetime opportunity for you to own a 'match used'
glove from your European Tour or European Ryder Cup Hero.  Bid generously
and you will be able to choose which player will dedicate and sign his
glove to you or a person of your choice.  The signed glove will come with
an official action picture of the player.  Please note the player must be
a member of the European Tour and time will be required to personally
acquire the item on your behalf.
Kindly donated by the Tour Players Foundation, the charitable foundation
of the European Tour.



Lot #2










Signed England Saxons shirt by Rob Webber. The Current England International. The Shirt was worn in the Churchill Cup so is an actual England squad shirt not a replica!










Lot #3

One Month To Go !!!

Plans are going great guns with Raffle prizes steadily arriving and tickets flying out the door ...Thankfully!!!

A Huge Big Thank You from me if you have bought some and offered to sell some for me

Now some well deserved Thanks to some of the people that have made Alexander's Charity Ball as big as it is.  The planning and organising of such an event is no easy task but it is made easier knowing I have the support of lots of friends and family and when the purse strings are being stretched very tight I have our regular donators to whom I go.

Such friends as Dave and Toni Cross.



David is the one of the founders and directors of Coda Studios a very prominent Architecture Practice based in Sheffield.  Since the death of our precious boy Dave and Toni, through Coda, have fund raised for The Foundation for the Study of Infant Deaths (in memory of Alexander) endless amounts of times, gathering sponsorship for our Mile in Memories, selling raffle tickets to staff and clients and asking around for us for raffle prizes, well Toni does !!!

As well as all that effort Coda sponsors Alexander's Charity Ball and 2012 is no different.

Thanks to Coda's generous donation we will have a 'Fun Casino' at this years Vegas Themed Ball.  Provided by Fun Casinos guests will buy Fun Money to exchange for chips at the Roulette or Blackjack tables, all the money raised on the night we keep to add to the total raised.

I will never have the words to tell them both how much their support means to both Ian and myself and Thank You never seems quite enough
Have an amazing time this year I owe you both so much x

Happy New Year Everyone

So with 6 weeks to go Ball Central is up and running with a vengeance, the to do list is growing by the minute and I still have 2000 raffle tickets to sell #panic

Things are coming together nicely however and the night should blow the socks off my guests.

Raffle Tickets are available at £1.00 each, in a book of 10 so please if you can help me out by purchasing a few I'd been eternally grateful.  A list of prizes is available on our website AlexandersCharityBall.co.uk or on our Facebook page Facebook Alexanders Charity Ball

Finally for now ;

2011 was a year full of highs and lows, the lowest being the death of my Nan in April.  My Dad however gave me some pictures of the twins at my Nan's house that I have never seen before, they must have been taken on her camera so have only just come to light.  They are lovely and capture both boys perfectly.
