Not for profit mentoring scheme Fast Forward 15 is hosting a Fashion Forward 15 virtual charity auction to raise funds for disabled children’s charity, Newlife.
Prizes up for grabs include a Harper’s Bazaar luxury hamper, Chris Eubank’s signed boxing gloves and a night away at the Grand Brighton.
As well as bidding on top prizes, attendees will also hear from an empowering speaker line-up.
The keynote speaker, Courtney Stanley, is scheduled to host the ‘Let It Burn So You Can Rise’ session on rebuilding confidence after rejection and rising from the ashes when things around you do not work out.
Lizzy Williamson of Two Minute Moves will also host a mini dance lesson to get attendees moving and grooving.
The closing keynote Dream Big: Overcoming obstacles and achieving career goals will come from sports presenter, Rachel Stringer.
The virtual event will be hosted on the Cvent platform on Thursday 20 May between 7pm and 8:30pm with the live auction running through Givergy.
“There has never been a better time to highlight the hard work that the UK’s key workers have given us over the last year, and at the same time support, celebrate and raise money for the fantastic Charity, Newlife. This event has been put together by our 2021 cohort of our not-for-profit women’s mentoring programme,” FF15 founder Fay Sharpe said.
Following an introduction from the host, attendees will learn more about Newlife charity before being treated to the fashion show made up of items available to bid on.
After the keynote sessions, a raffle will be held, followed by an announcement of the auction winners.
