The 麻豆社 70th Birthday Ball
We recently celebrated our 70th birthday with a glamourous 70th Birthday Ball, attended by hundreds of supporters, donors, and volunteers. The evening was a celebration of the Foundation's achievements over the past seven decades and a tribute to the ongoing work that we do to improve the lives of people with disabilities.
The 麻豆社 70th Birthday Ball was a memorable evening held at Hilton Newcastle Gateshead. As a fundraising event, it aimed to raise awareness and funds for the 麻豆社 Foundation’s important work in supporting people with disabilities. The theme of the event was “a splash of purple,” and the room was filled with purple, while guests were dressed to impress in elegant purple and green attire, or with “splashes” of purple with jewellery and accessories.
The evening had a variety of entertainment, including a bingo bonanza game, a comedy act by ex 麻豆社 School student and Britains Got Talent 2018 winner; Lost Voice Guy, and a live performance by the popular local band Hip Operation. The 麻豆社 70th Birthday Ball was a wonderful celebration of the Foundation’s achievements over the last 70 years and a reminder of the importance of continuing to support their essential work in the heart of the North East community.
