Persimmon Homes PLC has signed up as the main sponsor for the Three Bears Foundation's upcoming charity ball, set to take place at York Racecourse on November 14, 2026. The black-tie event aims to raise vital funds for the foundation, which supports groundbreaking medical research and provides practical care for local people facing severe health challenges.
Charity's Impact and Recent Donations
The Three Bears Foundation recently purchased a specialist cuddle bed for a local hospice and donated £20,000 to open a support room for families affected by cancer. These initiatives highlight the charity's commitment to offering tangible assistance to those in need across York and North Yorkshire.
Organisers are hoping to build on the success of last year's event, which raised more than £18,000 for pancreatic cancer research and local support services. The upcoming ball will feature a welcome drink, a three-course dinner, and live music performances from The South West Band, alongside silent and live auctions to boost the final total raised during the night.
Corporate Sponsorship Opportunities
Businesses across the region are being invited to support the evening by choosing from a range of corporate sponsorship packages. Persimmon Homes, a York-founded company, has already stepped forward as the main sponsor. Representatives from the company said they were "over the moon" to support the impactful local cause and help it build on its success.
Further sponsor packages and auction prize donations are also being welcomed by organisers ahead of the big night. Tickets and corporate packages for the flagship winter event are available to book online now with a deposit.
