P&J 275 Charity Gala

Serving northern and Highland Scotland including the cities of Aberdeen and Inverness, the Press & Journal celebrated its 275th anniversary in February 2024 with the launch of its 275th Community Fund.

 The goal of the fund was to provide support for P&J’s charity partners, which, for 2024 are: Bon Accord Heritage, Friendly Access – SurfABLE Scotland, Friends of Anchor, Munlochy Animal Aid & Scotland’s Charity Air Ambulance (SCAA).

Looking for an organisation that could support the inaugural P&J 275 Charity Gala with their fundraising objectives, the committee were also looking to add a bit of a “spark” to the event. 

After a live demo of our silent auction platform, we were delighted to be chosen to facilitate the online fundraising for the P&J 275 Charity Gala through our Event PAL software, raising vital funds for their 5 chosen charities.

But……it didn’t stop there! We travelled north to Aberdeen with our sister brand, Event ART, who were on hand to add that “spark”.

 The team dressed the tables with a mixture of Full Moon LED table centres and Exploding Confetti Balloons. At 11pm, when the silent auction closed and the total amount raised was announced, 20 large balloons full of confetti exploded in celebration.

“Please pass on my thanks to the guys who came along on the night, they were both so helpful and nothing was too much trouble.”
