Nov. 24, 2010 - PRLog -- The fundraising event demonstrates that despite the gloomy economy, Yorkshire people are still prepared to give for charitable causes.

Managing Director Barry Softley took members of his team and clients to this annual event in support of the work Barnardo’s have been doing throughout Yorkshire.

Celebrity guests including TV veteran Helen Lederer, a search for Dorothy contestant Amy Diamond and biggest selling British black artist of all time Billy Ocean helped to deliver a truly spectacular event that took a ‘Wizard of Oz’ theme complete with yellow brick road, corn and poppy fields, emerald city and of course the tin man, scarecrow and cowardly lion.  

Barry Softley said “The event itself was spectacular but even more so are the causes which the money helps to fund. On the night we heard a very sad story about a young girl that has turned her life around with the help of Barnardo’s charity, Turnaround in Bradford after on-going abuse, this gave everyone the realisation that the money raised does really help”.

Since 2002 the Firecracker Ball has become the most significant event in the Yorkshire social calendar raising just short of £1 million for Barnardo’s and helping to change the lives of thousands of children and young people across Yorkshire.

Barry Softley advises, “We are just happy we can show our support for such a dedicated charity and to know that from 650 Yorkshire people we raised such a staggering amount”.

The date for next year’s Firecracker Ball has been announced for 12th November 2011.  For ticket and sponsorship information please contact Kirsty Guy 01748 821295 or kirsty.guy@barnardos.org.uk  or visit www.thefirecrackerball.org
