Brum Twestival will be held on Friday 11th September from
6pm til late at The Sence Bar and Club, Hurst Street, Birmingham.
Tickets are £10, which include a drink and a buffet.
Every penny of the ticket price will go to Birmingham
YMCA, which in a poll of Twitter users, was chosen to
benefit from the event with 43% of the votes.
Brum Twestival is part of a global Twestival. Hundreds of other
cities around the world will be holding similar events between
10-13th September to raise money for causes voted for by their
local online communities.
Now we’re looking for sponsors for the
event. Both the food and drinks sponsorship packages are available for
£550. Each sponsor can display promotional material at the
event, will get mentioned wherever possible and get two free tickets
to the event. If you know anyone we could contact or you want to get
involved comment below or email kate.s.hughes@googlemail.com
We're looking for Birmingham businesses who want to donate
prizes please get in touch through the Brum Twestival website. We would be so
grateful for any support.
Birmingham YMCA is fundraising for a new flagship housing
and youth centre development called ‘The
Orchard’. The Orchard will contain 83 apartments for
formerly homeless people, allotments, an internal orange grove, a
multi-use sports hall, training rooms, community café, social
enterprise centre, youth ‘chill out’ zone, nursery and
soft play area. Based on Reservoir road, Erdington, The Orchard
will be a facility for the whole community of Birmingham. Starting
in September 2009, Birmingham YMCA is aiming to raise the final
£1.5 million of the required £13.5 million, over the
next 12-15 months from fund raising events and donations.
