I and a great team have been months planning a second charity dinner in the beautiful Hunter Valley Vineyards. We have been able to secure many sponsors including an incredible new venue called “The Hangar”, that boasts fighter jets, tiger moths and old war planes. (See some photos http://www.professionalphotographer.com.au/clients/The_Hangar/Gallery2/ ). I also have many other great sponsors, event managers, AV, catering and a small army of volunteers.
I have been holding off on securing a date depending on a guest act for the evening. I knew in my gut that U2 would tour this year or next, I just knew it. I have been waiting for the moment to invite them.
I am going to contact the band and ask the guys if they could find some time in their busy schedule to help out a truly worthy cause. I know they would be asked a lot to do things for charity but I am going to go out on a limb and ask as well because I really believe in the cause and I know the band will too and that they are all very generous.
Here is a brief of the event.
Why a fundraiser: To support some of the most vulnerable children and prevent premature death, secure good health, and enable positive early child development.
Who I am raising funds for: Compassion Australia (http://www.compassion.com.au) in particular their Child Survival Program ( http://www.compassion.com.au/cmspage.php?intid=260)
When: Stay tuned (when ever the band could fit me in).
Media: I know this event would worthwhile doing just on its own merits but it would also be great to generate some noise for the band to help promote their up coming 360° tour. We might even try to get Adam, Larry or The Edge up in a jet and do a 360 barrel roll with http://www.airaction.com.au/
I hope the band read this!!!
I know I am asking a lot, but you don’t get if you don’t ask. So here I am, humbly asking for your help. Anytime you could give towards this very worthwhile cause would be a dream come true and an answer to prayer.
Thanks
Regards
