With the London Olympics only two months away, every cent raised for the athletes going out there is vital, which is why support for the final fundraising event is of the utmost importance.
The Luncheon at Windsor Castle is a Cayman Islands Olympic Fundraising event and tickets are $125. It also coincides with the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee celebration and is at Abacus, Camana Bay, on 2 June from noon to 3pm. A Kate Middleton look-a-like is lined up along with Miss Cayman Islands and other models.
This is the latest in a line of great themed events with the organising committee headed by Betty Baraud who has raised hundreds of thousands for Cayman’s Olympians over two decades. Previous themes have included Royal Ascot and Rolling the Dice.
Along with the superb food, champagne, wine and fabulous company and over the top celebration, it promises to be an afternoon of fun and laughter, while building hope for gold for Cayman’s five athletes who have qualified for the Olympics that begin on 27 July.
They are swimming brothers Shaune and Brett Fraser and track athletes Cydonie Mothersill in the women’s 200m, Ronald Forbes in the men’s 110m hurdles and Kemar Hyman in the men’s 100m.
Cayman Airways has chipped in as sponsors with two tickets.
There will be a live auction for everyone to bid for some amazing items, including an incredible seven day package for two, inclusive of accommodation at the Novotel 4 star Hotel in London, from 26 July-1 August, six event tickets to the Games, airport transfers and concierge services.
A weekend for two at the lovely St Regis Hotel in Bal Harbour, Miami will be auctioned as well as some amazing Diamond Jubilee Celebration items. Ladies looking for that special hat for this occasion can contact Laura Anderton at 916-7754.
Betty Baraud said: “The Ritz-Carlton has also given us a brunch for four, a fantastic auction item which we’re really grateful for.”
Following lunch, at 5pm, the organising committee for the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee Celebration will present a flotilla of decorated and well lit boats and fireworks in Hog Sty Bay and parents are encouraged to bring along their children to participate in sailing these tiny boats, made especially for kids.
Tickets for the luncheon can be purchased by calling Abacus, committee members or Betty Baraud on 916-1609.
