Charity Gala | The BADA Antiques & Fine Art Fair

21 - 27 March 2012

Charity Gala Evening

In 2012, the glittering Gala event will be held in aid of HITS - Head Injury Through Sport, a charity that has recently been founded by BADA Fair Exhibitor Sandra Cronan together with Greta Morrison and Francesca Schwarzenbach. Its aim is to help those who have suffered head injuries through sport and to further the work of The National Brain Appeal.

250 guests are invited from 6pm to enjoy a glass of champagne whilst viewing the wonderful art and antiques for sale within the Fair. At 8pm a three-course dinner with fine wines will be served in the Fair’s own Cellini Restaurant. Dr Jarman, an eminent neurologist whose patients have included James Cracknell, Olympic Gold Medallist, will be the event's speaker and will talk about the important work of both the National Brain Appeal and HITS.

The sum HITS raises at the BADA Fair Gala evening will go to an appeal for £1.35million to aid the funding of a Neuro Imaging Analysis Centre at the National Hospital for Neurology and Neurosurgery, part of UCL Hospitals NHS Trust in London. The new centre will dramatically reduce waiting times for analysis and treatment leading to more positive clinical outcomes.

Tickets for the dinner are available for £200 per person.
