The Firecracker Ball is a highlight event of the social calendar in Yorkshire. It is an annual event which supports Barnardo’s projects in the area.

Last years event raised in excess of £116,000 with this year set to raise even more money for a fantastic cause.

The ball for 2010 has been planned around the theme of the Wizard of Oz with lots of exciting additions planned from themed tables to fancy dress to entertain the guests.

Creative Emporium has provided 500 x cotton shoppers for the ball. The bags are being used to hold a range of goodies which guests will receive as a souvenir at the end of the evening.

Paul Sharp, Business Development Manager at Creative Emporium said “Working with Kirsty at Barnardo’s has been fantastic. The ball is a great to raise money for a worthy charity and we really hope the event is even more successful than last year!”

About Barnardo’s:

Over a century later Barnardo’s is now working with 14,000 children, young people and their families in 43 services across the region, still commited to his belief that all children have the right to be cared for and nurtured regardless of race, creed, family background, ability and behaviour.
