Pirates Charity Premiere 2009

We are pleased to announce that our Charity Premiere in aid of Great Ormond Street Childrens Hospital was a great success, and we would like to thank everyone involved;

Our Celebrity guests who kindly donated their time and effort, our sponsors who made it possible to bring the GOSH families to Mallorca and give them the holiday they deserved, our supporters who donated prizes for our auctions & raffle, and of course the people of Mallorca who's unending generosity allowed us to yet again raise a huge sum of money for the children of Great Ormond Street Children's Hospital.

Over the last 5 years we have raised more than €400,000 for the hospital, and with this years total we are aiming to break through the half a million euros barrier. Raffle tickets are still on sale and donations are still being made so we will have a final figure soon, please check back regularly. The winning tickets for the raffle will be published here on May 16th, so make sure you come by to see if you've been lucky!

We will have a full Premiere review and photo gallery of the weekends event up soon.

The original idea for a Charity Gala night came out of a brainstorming session amongst the Pirates staff. We wanted to do a big night to launch the season and raise money for a good cause at the same time. We are a family show so a lot of our audience are kids and we wanted to do something for children so we approached Great Ormond Street Children's Hospital. Within 30 seconds we realised that we could do something to help. Over the past 5 years the gala nights have raised almost half a million euros and have funded a special 'Pirates' treatment room at the hospital. Many of our staff and performers have formed long-standing relationships with Great Ormond Street and they visit the hospital when they are in the UK.

We would like to thank our sponsors for their generosity in supporting us again this year.
