Next year's Raven Fox Ball will be held on February 16 in London and will benefit The Promise, a charity caring for children with special needs in the Russian orphanage system
Raven Fox has announced the date for next year's Charity Ball, one of the travel-retail industry's most popular social events. Now in its eleventh year, the Raven Fox Ball has raised hundreds of thousands of dollars for a number of charities, thanks to the continued generosity of its supporters in the travel-retail industry.Next year's Ball will be held on February 16 in London and will benefit The Promise, a charity set up to provide better care for children with special needs in Russia. Thousands of children in the country are housed in orphanages after being classified as "oligophrenic", or "small-brained". Such children are often further classified as "imbeciles" and deemed "uneducable". Many are denied one-to-one interaction and merely left to lie in cots.
After working in the Ryazan home south of Moscow in 2002, the founders of The Promise resolved to improve the care offered to the home's children via the "Portage" technique. With the funds generated by the Raven Fox Ball, the charity hopes to extend the project to other homes in Russia where improvements to childcare are desperately needed.

The venue and theme for the Raven Fox Ball 2007 will be announced later this year.
