The Maple Leaf Ball, May 9th, Victoria & Albert Museum
The Maple Leaf Trust is the home for Canadian philanthropy in the UK, supporting several fantastic charities: The Canadian Centennial Scholarship Fund, The Canada-UK Foundation, The Canadian Memorial Foundation and The Terry Fox Run UK. The Maple Leaf Ball is a bi-annual event and primary source of fundraising revenue for the Maple Leaf Trust. Over the decades the Ball has become the social highlight in the UK Canadian calendar, providing the opportunity for eminent Canadians from across the UK to come together to celebrate, reminisce, and make new connections, all whilst supporting these vital Canadian organisations.
Our spectacular Canadian gala will take place at the iconic London landmark Victoria & Albert Museum on 9th May 2024. The evening will open with a champagne reception, sponsored by our Platinum event sponsor, CIBC, in the beautiful John Madejski Garden. Guests will enjoy the ambience of live performances from CCSF Scholars Spencer Klymyshyn and Juliana Cook whilst sipping on Hinterland Blanc de Blanc sparkling wine. We will then move through the museum at dusk to the impressive Raphael Gallery. Here guests will enjoy a gourmet meal paired with Norman Hardie Canadian wines. The evening will be hosted by the wonderful Lisa LaFlamme.
Throughout the night there will be a live and silent auction featuring a print kindly donated by Edward Burtynsky from his latest exhibition at the Saatchi Gallery. We have an amazing raffle where guests could also win Air Canada business class tickets, a diamond necklace from De Beers and a fabulous dinner for two at Pavyllon. In addition to these live auction items, we’re particularly pleased with the support of the Canadian fashion and design community. Unbelievably beautiful designs from Shelli-Oh, AdamX Atelier, OmiWoods , Alan Anderson Atelier, Rita Tesolin, Garema Official. Lorne Husseand so many more! With a whole host of Canadian originals, along with “money can’t buy” prizes and experiences, this is not to be missed!
The party continues through the evening, with an exclusive and intimate performance from Canadian superstar, Jann Arden. Here, under the Dome, guests will also be able to sample Black Fox Farm Whisky & gin, Canadian wines, courtesy of Fairview Wines, Molson Canadian and Quebec’s Pur Vodka.
