This is the last opportunity to support this year's
annual Intellect ICT Industry Charity Ball and raise money for
autistic children to help them communicate more
effectively.
The event takes place in London on 8 July.
The ball, backed by Computer Weekly and the Worshipful Company of
Information Technologists, aims to raise more than £30,000, which
will provide an educational centre of excellence for the Treehouse
Trust, a London-based charity that works with children with autism,
a neurological disorder that affects one in 110 people.
The cash will fund a pilot project using IT to record and analyse
the work undertaken with each child, enabling staff to spend more
time with the children and ensure that the programmes for each
child are tailored for their individual needs.
Several hundred IT professionals, both users and suppliers, will
have an evening to remember, in a luxury marquee in the grounds of
the Honourable Artillery Company in the heart of the City of
London.
The theme for this year is A Night on the Orient Express, with
celebrities, dancing, cocktails, a sumptuous dinner, fairground
rides, entertainers, fireworks and more, to provide an evening that
the IT industry will not forget.
Sponsors for the ball include IBM, Microsoft, Intel, Cable &
Wireless, Messagelabs, Anite, Butler Group, Banner and Orient
Express Trains and Cruises.
Since its inauguration in 2000 this annual charity ball has raised
in excess of £90,000 for various charities. A table this year costs
£1,450 plus VAT, although individual bookings are also
welcome.
