This is from a story I have been working on for HedgeCo, I think these kind of events are great and need as much coverage as they can get;

This year's ARK (Absolute Return for Kids) 2007 Gala Dinner at Marlborough House on Pall Mall, London had a spectacular light, video and laser show, with Prince as the main act, many companies pitched in to raise an amazing £26.2 million ($51.7 million) for the charity. The event was set up by the hedge fund industry to raise money for children affected by poverty, abuse, disability and illness.

The event was produced by Starlight Design and attended by a star studded guest list of over 1000 including Bill Clinton, Madonna, Sir Bob Geldof, David Bailey, Liz Hurley and many more.

During the dinner, the ARK charity organization announced the launch of the Clinton-ARK Initiative for Mozambique, through a strategic partnership with the Clinton Foundation HIV/AIDS Initiative (CHAI). The partnership will support the delivery of rapid and high quality care and treatment for HIV/AIDS sufferers in Mozambique.

On the main stage were 35 square meters of visuals, flown over the stage, showing images and moving footage created and edited specially for the event. One of the evening's highlights was the screening of a hard-hitting film illustrating the work performed by ARK workers worldwide over the last 12 months, underlining the issues the organization is trying to address. The hedge fund team pulled no punches in order to energize the wealthy and fortunate to be generous in their donations.
