Gala Dinner for Ukraine at Blenheim Palace
On Saturday evening, invited guests and dignitaries convened at Blenheim Palace for a wonderful fundraising event aimed at supporting Ukrainian students to help them access intensive, short-term bootcamps in innovation and entrepreneurship.
Funds raised on the evening will support the equivalent of 15 scholarships, enabling young Ukrainian adults to attend Cherwell College’s AI, Innovation, and Entrepreneurship Bootcamp in April 2025.
B4 were privileged to support Saturday’s event at the home of B4 Platinum Members, Blenheim and also the press launch at Le Manoir (also Platinum Members) last year and involve B4 Members Wave Staffing and Studio 8 who provided their services for Saturday’s showpiece event.
Wave Staffing Partner, Chris Jones, commented. “Wave staffing greatly appreciated the opportunity to work with Cherwell College Oxford and B4 in delivering what was a magnificent event for the Oxbridge Foundation at the iconic Blenheim Palace this weekend. Helping to deliver a gala dinner, musical programme, and auction for a great cause with a number of VIPs and invited guests was a wonderful event which our events staffing team enjoyed immensely.” Clark Wiseman of Studio 8 added. “It was a privilege for Studio 8 to be involved with such a high profile event. Thank you for involving us B4!”
B4’s CEO, Richard Rosser, concluded. “It has been a pleasure for Tina and I to support Stephen, Helen and Katya with both the launch last year and the Gala Dinner at Blenheim. It’s such a brilliant cause and we hope the Foundation continues to go from strength to strength. The teams from Wave Staffing and Studio 8 represented the B4 community superbly and were a pleasure to work with. It was also fantastic to work with Thomas Forrester and Sarah O’Reilly.”
