Jungle Ball for Wild Futures
Leading primate welfare charity, Wild Futures, this year is celebrating 50 years of its rescue and rehabilitation centre, The Monkey Sanctuary with a Jungle Ball in March at St Mellion International Resort.
The prestigious event is being organised by Eve Events, based at Plymouth University and promises to be a wild occasion!
With special guest soon to be announced, guests will be welcomed by a drink on arrival, a delicious menu, fantastic entertainment line-up and lots more, all linked to a jungle theme!
There will be an auction and raffle with top prizes such as a sky dive from 15,000 feet!
Everyone is welcome and guests are invited to purchase a table of 10 for £500 or tickets at £50.
Elisha Burner, Eve Events states: “We are extremely excited about this event. Wild Futures is a fantastic cause and we really hope that guests go wild and raise lots of funds for them to help the charity rescue more monkeys in need. To help them celebrate their 50th anniversary, a Jungle Ball just made perfect sense – it is certainly going to be a unique event to remember!”
Hayley Dann, Wild Futures stated: “Fundraising events like this are vital for our charity as we are running out of space at our Sanctuary site. We are stepping up the fundraising activity this year in order to expand our rescue and rehabilitation facilities so that we can protect more primates. There are 5,000 primates kept privately in the UK today and we receive calls regularly to take in more. Unfortunately when the monkey arrives at our Sanctuary they have been damaged in some way and require a lot of specialist care. We are very grateful to Eve Events for selecting our charity this year. They are an extremely professional team and we look forward to what is going to be an amazing night!”
Anyone looking to attend the event is urged to contact Elisha from Eve Events on [email protected]. Details are also on the Wild Futures website, including a link to an online booking form https://www.wildfutures.org/events/jungle-ball/
Wild Futures is supported by a number of celebrities and will be announcing their special guest soon.
