The 3rd Butterfly bll will take place at Es Vive again this year on Weds 3rd October. This year they’ll be supporting the localcal childrens charity APNEEF.

With Ibiza Summer 2008 heading for its peak, its time once again to think Charity Fund Raising by way of the 3rd Annual Butterfly Ball.

This year, the organisers of the event (Jill Canney & Elena Sanchez) have, after careful consideration, chosen local Ibiza association for disabled children, APNEEF as the charity of choice, with all monies raised at The Butterfly Ball being donated to that particular worthy cause.

APNEEF attends nearly 100 local children with severe physical and mental disabilities and is in dire need of proper funding and support. So, lets help them, folks.

This year’s Ball will once again take place in Hotel Es Vive and donations are already coming in for auction by various well known personalities from the worlds of music, theatre, art and sport.
Whilst details on the event are currently being finalized, so far, so good - The Butterfly Ball is shaping up nicely and tickets will soon be on sale. The night will follow pretty much the same formula as last year with a few extras- champagne reception, dinner, auction, live acts, a bit of charidee karaoke, DJs and a bit of an all round knees up, and all for a great island cause (these kids really do need help)

Wanna Help?
All donations gratefully received! If you have something lurking round your house/office/garage that you think might raise a bob or two, let us know.

We are also looking for collaborators, sponsors and investors to help take this fundraiser to the next level. If you or your company would like to make a cash donation directly to APNEEF, that would also be very welcomed.

Volunteers wanted..we couldn’t do this without the help of the many generous individuals involved. Many hands make light work, both pre event and on the night itself.

Bums on Seats on the night of the event. Not only an excuse to dress up and dine out, The Butterfly Ball is shaping up to be another great night’s merriment and of course, to hammer it home, ‘all for a good cause’.

You wanna help? Help us spread the word: give us a mention in your magazine/newspaper - tell your friends - buy a ticket… ask your famous friend to donate something for auction… be there on the night… overall, support us, the Butterfly Ball and APNEEF..

It was a great night at Es Vive. Unfortunately we were outbid on the signed framed ibiza rocks posters but we did manage to snag the signed viz album. Keith, as the auctioneer, was brilliant, Jill the organiser behind it all looked fabulous and a good time was had by all.

Afterwards everyone went to the back room bar where it all got rather messy. We ended up falling down the steps on the way out and have a big horrible gash on the arm to prove it and a missing mobile phone in the process… a good night then!

We had lovely cakes and coffee this afternoon at the press call for the 2nd Butterfly Ball next week at Es Vive. This is a chance for island residents (and anyone else for that matter) to give something back to the island as its in aid of the islands local Cancer Charity and the UK Macmillons cancer support trust - charities that are very close to home to a lot of people here…

You can email the organisers through their myspace page or email: thebutterflyballATgooglemail.com

‘The Butterfly Ball’

In aid of MACMILLAN CANCER SUPPORT +
AECC (Asociación Española contra el Cáncer)

Tues 9th October
Hotel Es Vive (Figueretas), Ibiza
From 20.30hrs.

“Creatures that fly, or that creep, hop or run,
Now wake all at once to a loud trumpet call,
To tell them this greatest of days has begun,
The day of the Feast and The Butterfly Ball”

William Plomer, The Butterfly Ball

The concept of The Butterfly Ball stems from a children’s book first published in 1973.

Written in poetic form by William Plomer and beautifully illustrated by Alan Aldridge, the book tells the tale of the creatures of the forest preparing themselves for ‘The Big Day’ - the day of The Butterfly Ball and the Grasshoppers Feast.

The event of the same name has been organised to take place in Ibiza in order to raise much needed funds for both Macmillan Cancer Support in the UK and the Spanish Cancer Association, AECC.

In order to raise awareness and cash for the cause, a night of eating (a sumptuous Thai Buffet), drinking(champagne to start), bidding(celebrity auction) and dancing(in the Hotel Es Vive’s Cabaret Bar) has been meticulously organised as a way to do just that.

The festivities will commence at 20.30 when the Hotel’s doors will be opened to guests, who will be greeted with champagne and canapés. The Buffet will follow on, a veritable feast of Thai delights, prepared by the in house chefs of Hotel Es Vive. Once guests have been sufficiently fed and watered, the Butterfly Celebrity Auction will commence.

Amongst other items up for grabs to the highest bidder; signed shirts from the likes of David Beckham and Pau Gasol, rock memorabilia from artists including Arctic Monkeys and Kaiser Chiefs, art from a range of well known artists, Marcos Torres and Gary Cook amongst them, weekend breaks and spa treatments from island hospitality institutions including Pikes, Atzaro, the Hotel Es Vive itself, not to mention the various other collectable antiques and unique items on offer in the auction.

The auction will be hosted by Keith Holden, legendary island character. Giving him a hand on the stage, the event’s presenter and island personality, Jessica Henderson (aka DJess)

After the big blow out storm yesterday its back to business as usual… The great thing about this time of year from now on is that the sun sets to the left of the horrible crane we can see from our balcony and we think they are far better than the summer sunsets… Tonight we got a lovely golden sunset.
