Elevate was delighted to welcome clients, partners, colleagues and friends to its Annual Summer BBQ in Brighton last week, bringing together stakeholders from across the industry for an evening of networking, celebration and fundraising.
Held in the heart of Brighton, the event once again proved to be a highlight of the summer calendar, providing an opportunity for guests to connect in a relaxed setting while supporting an important charitable cause.
This year’s event raised valuable awareness and funds for Rare People – The Research Charity, a UK charity dedicated to improving the lives of people affected by rare diseases. Rare diseases collectively impact millions of people worldwide, yet many conditions remain under-researched and underfunded. The charity works to advance research, increase understanding, and provide support to individuals and families navigating the challenges associated with rare conditions.
Guests generously supported the charity throughout the evening through raffle ticket purchases and donations, helping to make a meaningful contribution to its ongoing work.
Dr Rob Galloway, Founder of Rare People, expressed his gratitude to everyone who contributed:
“As a small charity, every donation makes a real difference. The support shown at the Elevate Summer BBQ helps us continue our work raising awareness and funding research that has the potential to improve and save lives. We are incredibly grateful to everyone who supported us.”
The success of the event reflects the generosity and commitment of all those who attended, and Elevate would like to extend its sincere thanks to everyone who joined us and helped make the evening such a memorable occasion.
For those who were unable to attend, or who would still like to support Rare People, donations can be made via the charity’s JustGiving page.
We would also like to thank everyone who contributed to the warm and welcoming atmosphere that made the event such a success. We look forward to sharing details of future events and welcoming guests again soon.
