Ulster Cancer Foundation's Titanic Event
Belfast-born singer Brian Kennedy will take centre stage at a glittering gala ball at the new Titanic Belfast building to mark the 100th anniversary of the world’s most famous ship - and raise funds for the Ulster Cancer Foundation (UCF).
Hosted by local firm Legacy Wealth, the Irish themed ball is the first charitable event to be held at Northern Ireland’s most exciting and unique new venue on Saturday 28th April.
Joyce Savage, UCF’s Head of Appeals and Marketing, said, “We are delighted that Legacy Wealth is hosting this fabulous evening for the Ulster Cancer Foundation, and at such an iconic landmark. The 100th anniversary of the Titanic is an exciting occasion for the whole community. We are thrilled to have a central role in the festivities and at the same time raise vital funds to help cancer patients and their families across Northern Ireland.
“This will be the first opportunity for many people to see the amazing facilities Titanic Belfast has to offer. In addition, we have an exceptional line-up of artists for guests to enjoy and hope that everyone will want to join us at this stunning location for a wonderful night out.”
The gala ball is the concept of Legacy Wealth Director Keith Liggett, who has already raised funds for UCF by running the New Yorkmarathon on his 40th birthday last November.
Keith said, “As a Director of Legacy Wealth, a local company that specialises in helping clients protect their financial affairs, I all too often come across families and individuals coping with the consequences of cancer. Unfortunately employees of Legacy Wealth and their families have also been affected by cancer and sadly a friend and colleague recently lost her brave fight against this dreadful disease.
“She and others had talked about the good work that the Ulster Cancer Foundation does for patients and their families in the local community so I felt drawn to supporting this charity,” he said.
“I had the idea of organising the gala ball as a way of raising as much money as possible for the charity with the support of our extensive bank of both Corporate and Private clients throughoutNorthern Ireland.
“Legacy Wealth is known for its exceptional client experience and, in keeping with our reputation, has secured a first class venue and line up of local talent for an evening which promises to be memorable for all and hopefully raise lots of money for UCF.”
The evening will get off to a sparkling start with a champagne reception and include entertainment from Irish dance troupe Celtic Storm, traditional singers Tully and dancing to one of Ireland’s top live bands Electric Avenue.
