Nearly £9000 raised so far in our Virtual Ball - help us make it more!

Dear Project HOPE supporter

So far we have raised nearly £9000 in our 'Virtual Ball', but you can help us take this total over £10,000 by taking part in our e-Bay auction which is still running, or simply make a donation by clicking here

Why not sell some of your own items on e-Bay and donate some or all of the proceeds to Project Hope - just click on the 'Sell' tab here, list your items and choose how much of the sale price you want to go to Project HOPE.

And don't forget to reserve the date for next year's real-life ball at the Savoy in the Strand on Thursday 18th November!

Thank you for your support.

The Project HOPE Virtual Ball is today!

Is your virtual party attire at the ready? Today is the day of the Project HOPE UK VIRTUAL BALL (www.virtualball.org) and the site is up and dancing, ready for you to visit and pass on to all your contacts!

The UK may be passing through difficult economic times, but not to be compared to the challenges faced by millions of orphans and other vulnerable children across Africa and Asia - the children Project HOPE UK is totally committed to support. Together with our supporters, we made the decision not to have our glittering fundraising ball in London this year (originally scheduled for today), but to ask you to be generous in supporting the Virtual Ball, so we can still serve the children.

Please, please ...... visit www.virtualball.org right now and send the link to all your colleagues and friends. You can bid in our online auctions for exciting lots from as little as £1.95 up to a £000s. And you can make on online donation through the site, or https://www.bmycharity.com/V2/projecthopeukvirtualball# - every penny raised will be used to change the lives of children forever!

Thank you for your generous support. By visiting www.virtualball.org, you will be part of a world first; the first-ever fundraising event of its type!

Thank you for your support

Virtual Ball e-Bay auction now live

As part of the exciting and innovative Project Hope Virtual Ball, we have an auction running on e-Bay until Nov 19th.

Take a look at the limited edition prints and lithographs by artists such as Renoir and Dali, or bid for some vintage jewellery or a fabulous night out for four people at the exclusive Mahiki night club in London's Mayfair.

Don't delay - there's only just over a week to go before the auctions close, so get your bids in now!

All proceeds from this online event will go to support Project Hope's work helping to improve the lives of orphans and other vulnerable children in South Africa.

Thank you for your support.
