The night’s auctions and games raised more than £60,000 while corporate donations totalled £15,000 The DFNI Hollywood Charity Ball, held on April 20 at the Lancaster Hotel in London, raised at least £75,000 ($121,000) for Toutes à l’école association, a French project providing education for underprivileged girls in Cambodia. The money raised at this year’s event, the 17th edition of the DFNI Charity Ball, will be used to provide comprehensive medical care to the young girls at the Happy Chandara school.


The live auction, which included gifts such as a Burberry VIP luxury shopping experience worth £3,000 ($4,800) and a trip for two to Cannes in October including a room in a superior hotel and delegate passes to Tax Free World Association (TFWA) World Exhibition, raised about £40,000 ($64,600), while the silent auction and games raised roughly £10,000 ($16,150) each. Generous cash donations totalling £15,000 ($24,220) were also added to the ongoing total.

The final amount raised through the event will be announced next month. In the meantime, please watch a video of the night below and thank you for your generosity.
