Interiors industry charity The Furniture Makers’ Company is to hold a gala ball to celebrate the culmination of its Step 2 It fundraising campaign.
The black-tie event is being held on Friday 25 March at the five-star Landmark London hotel.
The Step 2 It Ball will commence with a drinks reception in The Drawing Room with a four-course dinner cooked by executive chef Gary Klaner in The Marble Ballroom, followed by entertainment from the Jazz Dynamos and a charity auction.
Step 2 It has been the charity’s largest ever fundraiser. The campaign, which has been running since May 2021 and will end in April 2022, has been encouraging companies and individuals to organise sports-based challenges in aid of the charity.
‘Over the past 10 months, we’ve been encouraging the trade to Step 2 It and raise money for our charity by organising an activity-based fundraiser. The response to the campaign has been outstanding and we have been overwhelmed by the support it has received. The Step 2 It Ball is being organised to toast the success of the campaign and have one big final push,’ says David Woodward, The Furniture Makers’ Company master.
‘The Step 2 It Ball is open to anyone and everyone involved in the furnishing industry. Guests will be able to dance the night away to the world-famous Jazz Dynamos – a truly superb band who have performed for British and Hollywood royalty. As well as being a fun night where everyone can get dressed up to the nines and raise some money for our industry’s charity, it is a great occasion to host a gathering of work colleagues, entertain customers or spend an evening with family and friends.’
Tickets for the event are £220 plus VAT with a table of 10 costing £2,100 plus VAT.
