Evening of fundraising will support children and families across the Highlands
The Archie Foundation will celebrate the rich tradition of Scotland’s national poet, Rabbie Burns, at a fundraising Burns Supper in January.
Guests are invited to Inverness’s iconic Town House on Saturday, 24 January, to enjoy an evening of delicious Scottish food and drink by Good Highland Food, drams to toast the Bard and captivating entertainment.
All proceeds from the night will go towards supporting babies, children and families across the Highlands. Adding to the special celebrations, a specially written ‘Ode Tae Archie’ will pay tribute to Archie’s vital work across the Highlands.
Tickets are priced at £100 per person or £1,000 for a table of ten, which includes dinner and a dram, live entertainment and the chance to win exciting prizes in a raffle and silent auction.
Sponsorship packages are also available, including headline sponsor, welcome or after dinner drinks, entertainment and table gifts. Sponsorship includes attendance, brand visibility on the night and the chance to support a charity that makes a real difference to the lives of young people.
Neil McGregor, Business Development and Fundraising Manager at The Archie Foundation Highlands, said, “We can’t wait to welcome guests to the Town House for what promises to be a fantastic celebration of Scottish tradition. Our Burns Supper will be a wonderful evening of great food, poetry, music and entertainment, but, most importantly, it is a new highlight in the Highlands charity calendar. The Archie Foundation supports children and families at some of the most challenging times in their lives, from hospital stays to bereavement and beyond. Events like this allow us to continue delivering that vital support, and we are incredibly grateful to everyone who attends or sponsors the evening to help make a real difference.”
Entertainment on the night will also include pipers, Highland dancers and speeches from individuals, including Archie patron Kenny Smith, Willie Cameron, also known as Mr Loch Ness, and Red Hot Chilli Pipers founder, Stuart Cassels.
Archie’s work aims to transform experiences and outcomes in healthcare and bereavement for babies, children and families across the Highlands, Aberdeen and Tayside. The charity’s vision is that all children in the region have equal access to world-class healthcare and bereavement support, delivered in a child-appropriate environment and manner.
