8build's First Summer Party on 08/08/08


The evening was a great success that was well attended by many industry friends and also raised over £5,000 for charity.
 
We first became involved with the charity Article 25, when we met with Chief Executive Victoria Harris in March 2008 and decided to help support them with a bridge building project in Wikhadi, Thailand. We have subsequently been heavily inspired by them and the work that they do.  So much so, that we decided to utilise our already planned summer event to provide them with a platform not only to raise awareness of the hard work that they do, but also to help raise some money for the many other projects that they are involved with.

The event itself was Thai themed, representative of the project we had supported together and it seemed to work well with the Singha beer, Thai dancers, decor, food and even Thai related auction and raffle prizes.

The evening was enjoyed by all and we are incredibly grateful to all the other people and companies who generously donated their time, knowledge and prizes.
