The 2005 Black and White Ball
The Black and White Ball at the Mandarin Hotel Knightsbridge has so far
raised over £25,000. 
The
Charity supports medical research into the genetic disease that causes children
to be born with cataracts in both eyes, defects in brain development and in the
kidneys and is funding research projects at Imperial College London,
University College London, Dundee University and a new grant to Moorfields eye hospital for
cataract research was announced in a video recorded for the event by trustee
Jonathan Ross. 
There were many famous guests and performers including
Jono Coleman, Vanessa
Feltz, Dennis Duhaney Tony Hadley, Martin Fry and with distinguished guests even flying in from Switzerland especially
for the party!
The event was covered by a charity photographer from pret-a-portrait (for pictures see above) and OK! Magazine featured in the June issue 474.
The evening started with a champagne reception followed by a three course meal, casino, magician, MC Clark Gable and auction by LBC radio DJ David Prever. Fabulous Auction items donated included an Omega James Bond watch, Rod Stewarts Shirt, Joss Stone's skateboard, a picture by HRH Duchess of York, Garrard Jade Jagger ring, LeBeers diamond necklace, Lulu Guiness Handbag and FoliFoli jewellery set. CocaCola kindly provided table water and Ferraro donated new Giotto chocolates that were very popular with the guests.
There was a rush onto the dance floor when Martin Fry (ABC) took to the stage, who was followed by the FABBA girls (who annouced that Sweden had come second from bottom in the Eurovision song contest). Many encores were demanded from Tony Hadley, with the audience singing along with every chorus.
