Charity Christmas Gala in Aid of Junior Achievement & Isle Listen

What a truly special evening ✨

A huge thank you to everyone who attended the Charity Christmas Gala kindly organised and hosted by the Comis Hotel in support of Junior Achievement Isle of Man and Isle Listen.

We were thrilled to have the 17-piece big band performing (www.nqbb.co.uk/), who played absolutely phenomenally, making the night even more magical. A special thank you to the Isle of Man Steam Packet Company for helping with the band’s transport costs.

A heartfelt thank you to James Davis, our brilliant compère, Guy Templer our auctioneer for the evening and Justin and the team from ELS for all their support.

Thank you to everyone who attended and bought raffle tickets or bid in the auction. We are also incredibly grateful to everyone who donated prizes.

Auction prizes:Newfield, Comis Hotel, Elite Fitness, Pokerstars and Annexio.

Raffle prizes: PGI Limited, Games Global, Smart HR Solutions Limited (SmartHR), MannVend, MAC Group, Appleby, Nedgroup Investments, Robinsons, Group Eleven, Standard Bank, Conister Bank and Zurich.

Thanks to your generosity, and the brilliant prizes, we raised over £20,000, which will enable us to continue supporting young people, helping them develop the skills and confidence they need to thrive, while also contributing to the vital work of Isle Listen. The Z Zurich Foundation have very kindly agreed to match fund this amount.

Our sincere thanks to the wonderful team at The Comis Hotel & Golf Resort, especially Mario, Karen and Cara, for hosting such a beautiful event, and to everyone who donated, attended and helped make the night so memorable.
