Walk The Red Carpet At The Official Star-Studded Ball At Yas Hotel

FLASH Entertainment, the regions premier live events company, today announced it will bring the Official Ball 2010 to Yas Island on 13th November 2010, with more stars and glamour than ever before.
On the eve of what is set to be a thrilling end to the 2010 Formula 1™ Etihad Airways Abu Dhabi Grand Prix, the glittering Official Ball will raise funds for The Naked Heart Foundation. With a decadent indulgent four-course dinner, sparkling live music performances and an exclusive auction supported by Harper’s Bazaar, the event will be the highlight of the Grand Prix social calendar.
In partnership with GEM Events, The Official Ball 2010 will welcome guests to a star-studded celebrity reception, creating a memorable glamorous evening for all who attend. Last year saw Janet Jackson, Neve Campbell, Marissa Tomei and Jeremy Irons join Formula 1 TM stars and the A’list of Abu Dhabi.
John Lickrish, Managing Director of Flash Entertainment said:
‘Being a FLASH produced event, the glamorous evening would not be complete without spectacular entertainment. There will be an exciting line up of celebrity guests attending, live performances from international artists and a charity auction. The night is sure to be marked Abu Dhabi’s ‘social event of the year’.
After dinner, guests will enjoy big name live music performances from the likes of Grammy Award–winning singer and songwriter Sarah McLachlan famed for her lyrical ballads such as ‘Angel’ and ‘I will remember you’ and will be welcomed by stars of stage and screen in support of this year’s charity, The Naked Heart Foundation.
The work of the Naked Heart Foundation is to provide a safe and inspiring environment for underprivileged children to play in, particularly in areas such as Russia where play facilities are not state-funded. Through play, children develop their imaginations, their creativity, become physically stronger and more confident and resilient.
Natalia Vodianova, founder and president of Naked Heart Foundation, said;
"We are delighted and excited to have been invited to visit the dynamic city of Abu Dhabi to meet the visionaries that are driving the spectacular developments taking place.
The Official Ball 2010 organisers have kindly offered the proceeds of the charity auction to the foundation and we are bringing a lot of great people along to support us.
We have great auction prizes being offered by very influential and generous people, so we are confident it will be a great success.”
VIP tables of 10 can be purchased for AED 45,000 and standard tables of 10 for AED 35,000. Tickets will go on sale today, and will be available to purchase from GEM Global Event Management - Kristina Hall, Kristina@geventm.com, +971 4 444 0742
