The Electrical Industries Trading Company, in support of the Charity, is delighted to announce that the phenomenal dance extravaganza – powerBall 2017-raised over £140,000.
On top of that, on the night, 51 people pledged to raise £1,000 each for the Charity in the next 12 months through individual fundraising.
Since the very first inaugural Festival Dinner which took place in 1908, powerBall continues to bring hundreds of industry professionals together under one roof to celebrate a successful year in the electrical sector and this year’s event lived up to its reputation.
The Friday Night Fever themed event brought New York City back to life where guests had a chance to re-live their disco days with hits including Night Fever, More Than A Woman, If I Can’t Have You and Stayin’ Alive. Guests on the night also witnessed the phenomenal performance of a Saturday Night Fever tribute show choreographed by Nikki Trow.
Hundreds of guests danced the night away to the brand-new band Madhen and DJ Laura and enjoyed the best entertainment from the UK’s leading impressionist and entertainer – Mike Osman.
In addition, dozens of people who attended this spectacular event got involved in the Charity’s Raise the Roof ‘One brick at a time’ campaign by donating £25 each to the Electrical Industries Charity, allowing them to buy a personalised brick which will go towards building a house for Caz Dickinson and her family.
The Charity aims to raise £250,000 and work with industry partners to carry out any renovation work which is required to safeguard the future of Caz and her family.
Next year, powerBall will take place on Friday 09 November at the Grosvenor House Hotel, London.
