Record Breaking Ball!

The fourth annual Big Kid’s Ball at Ardoe House has raised more than £32,000 thanks to the generosity of local individuals and businesses. More than 380 attendees enjoyed a three course meal, auction, table top raffle and entertainment by The Limit.

A wide range of sectors were represented at the event, with sponsors including Rigquip Drilling and Tayside Machinery. MC for the evening was Ian Thain, and he ensured a fantastic evening was had by all. Stars of the main auction included a tour of the House of Lords by Aberdeen’s very own Lord Stephen, and a round of golf with 1999 Open Championship winner Paul Lawrie.

“We are honestly overwhelmed by the total raised by the event, which is almost double what was achieved in 2010,” noted Chief Executive Karen Farquhar. “There were so many examples of generosity in the room and we are so grateful that the on-going work of Befriend A Child clearly strikes a chord with the local community.”
