The Butterfly Ball 2010

April 2nd, 2010 by admin

 

Ayr Racecourse was the venue for our 4th Butterfly Ball on Saturday 27th March in aid of Cancer Research UK.  It was another fabulous evening attended by 500 guests who enjoyed a drinks reception, sponsored by Ayr Racecourse with entertainment provided by Dalmellington Band.  Once guests were seated they were treated to a dance show by Cumnock Highland Dance School, with dancers from age 4-19 years.  The evening was full of fun with our silent and grand auction ending the evening with a spot of dancing to resident Butterfly showband Waterfront, who were amazing as ever.  A fabulous £15,000 was raised on the night and will be fully donated to our charity Cancer Research UK, bringing our total in the past 4 years to £115,000.  Lorna Dempsey, Founder, said “we are not a big committee and are not working on this full time, however we are dedicated to giving our supporters a really good night out for a reasonable amount of money whilst supporting a very worth while cause.  I would like to thank everyone who donated a prize or bought a raffle ticket you have contributed to our fabulous total.  And a massive thank you to all of our guests for making it another event to remember Thank you, together we will beat cancer”  The date is booked for 2011, watch the website for details.
