The Grey Goose Winter Ball 2012



Grey Goose is to bring the Cote d'Azur to London

Grey Goose Winter Ball
To Benefit the Elton John AIDS Foundation
Saturday 10 November 2012, London

Grey Goose, the world's best tasting Vodka, is set to host what has become one of the most hotly anticipated events of the international social calender: The sixth annual Grey Goose Winter Ball to benefit the Elton John AIDS foundation on Saturday 10 November 2012. Some of the most renowned characters from the world of film, fashion, food, art and music will come together in London, combining their unique talents to create an exceptional Grey Goose Winter Ball to benefit the Elton John AIDS foundation.

This year's Winter Ball will see one of London's most iconic  venues, Battersea Power Station, transformed beyond recognition into a scene from a 1950's Cote d'Azur summer. A firm favourite amongst the style leaders of London, the Winter Ball has previously taken inspiration from a Chateau in Cognac to a five-star Biarritz hotel, to the rooftops of Paris. This year, it will evoke the elegance of the south of France, a favourite region of Sir Elton John and David Furnish, during its glamorous heyday; pastel colour palettes, palm trees and poolside sophistication will be the talk of the evening.

Hosted by Grey Goose and the Elton John AIDS foundation attended by Sir Elton John and David Furnish, the Winter Ball aims to raise funds for the foundation, with which Grey Goose has enjoyed an eight-year partnership. To date, the ball has raised in excess of £2.3 million for the Foundation, supporting a range of hugely significant and worthwhile projects in Cambodia, Africa and the UK.

Each year, Grey Goose invites a hand-picked selection of character partners to design a unique lot that is auctioned at the Winter Ball. Past years have seen names such as Elizabeth Hurley, Christian Laboutin, Jean Paul Gaultier, and Lily Cole.

Guests on the night will be treated to an exquisitely prepared dinner by two Michelin-starred chef Helene Darroze.

The Grey Goose Winter Ball to benefit the Elton John AIDS foundation wouldn't be complete without a spectacular musical performance: following the dinner and auction, the award winning singer and songwriter Emile Sande will collaborate with producer and musician Labrinth to offer guests an unforgettable show.

Tickets for the Grey Goose Winter Ball to benefit the Elton John AIDS Foundation will be available to buy from ejaf.com with 100% of the proceeds benefitting the Elton John AIDS Foundation. (Charity registration no 1017336)
