All Aboard for a Titanic Night
13 April 2006
Disability Action has pledged that Friday 24 February 2006 will be a'night to remember' as the local charity launches its Titanic Gala Nall to raise much needed funds in support of people with disabilities in Northern Ireland.
Generously supported by ICT and managed services provider, Northgate Information Solutions (formerly Sx3), the evening will recreate the splendour, history and magic of first-class travel on board the HMS Titanic in the Grand Ball Room at the Europa Hotel, Belfast.
Guests will enjoy a spectacular five-course meal, recreating a 1912 authentic first class menu from the maiden voyage, before taking to the dance floor to dance the night away with the ever popular Chevy\'s.
Speaking at the launch Eamonn Donaghy, Head of Fundraising & Marketing at Disability Action said,
"The Gala Ball is an extremely important event in our fundraising calendar. As well as raising vital funds for the work of Disability Action, the Ball also provides an excellent opportunity to acknowledge the support we receive from organisations and companies across Northern Ireland. We are very grateful to Northgate for their generous support and look forward to a very successful evening".
Eleanor Lee, Northgate Marketing Manager added,
"Northgate is delighted to come on board and support this fantastic fundraising initiative. Fundraising is vitality important to all charities and with disability touching so many lives in Northern Ireland - one in five people - this event plays a crucial role in financially supporting Disability Action\'s invaluable work in the community. So we urge local businesses to embark the \'Titanic\' for the evening and join us in raising as much money as possible for this very worthy local cause."
