This year's Russell Anderson Foundation (RAF) annual fundraising dinner will take place on Friday 10th May at the city's Chester Hotel, with Aberdein Considine Wealth and Fowler McKenzie as the main sponsors for the event which this year will take the form of a masked ball.

AC Wealth CEO Jen Paice added, "We're delighted to be co-sponsoring the Russell Anderson Foundation Ball this year. The Foundation does fantastic work in delivering first-class programmes and support that make a real difference to children's lives in socially deprived areas in the North East. It's a really worthy cause and one that we're very passionate about supporting."

Fowler McKenzie Managing Director Phil McKenzie commented. "Fowler McKenzie is delighted to be given the opportunity to support the Russell Anderson Foundation Ball and the magnificent work that RAF does in our community."

Entertainment for the evening, which will be hosted once again by Alex Fleming, includes music from The Soul Kings and Waterfront. Tables of ten for the event, costing £1500, can be obtained by contacting Russell at info@russellandersonfoundation.org

All funds raised on the evening will go towards the substantial work RAF does to make a measurable and sustainable difference in the health and wellbeing of children in the local community.
