White Hat Ball 2010
January 29, 2010
London, UK


Now in its fifth anniversary year, the White Hat Ball is an established event in the Information Risk and Security industry calendar, organised by a committee of industry volunteers. The ball provides a perfect opportunity for everyone in the industry to have fun with colleagues, friends and family whilst raising money for a great cause. In 2009 the White Hat Ball raised £90,000.
This year we hope to raise even more, every penny of which will go directly to funding ChildLine’s valuable helpline for children who have a problem and need to talk.
The evening will begin at 7pm with a champagne reception, followed by a three-course dinner, introduced by a friend of ChildLine. You will have the opportunity to bid for some fabulous prizes in the grand auction, as well as enjoying a Tops and Tails game and other fundraising activities. After dinner, you can enjoy drinks at the bar, listen to the band and dance the night away at the disco.
By attending this prestigious event you will be helping ChildLine make a real difference to the lives of children in the UK.

Please note that the White Hat Ball committee has reserved rooms in the hotel for the evening of the White Hat Ball, priced at a special rate. To book one of these rooms please contact Natasha Mogashoa.
