Ice ball 2004
When Sarah Settelen founded ThePromise in July 2003, she organised a ball with friends to raise the money to start the work in Russia. The Ice Ball was the first of many successful fundraising events organised by ThePromise and our supporters. To find out more about our fundraising events, please take a look at our events pages. We hope you will be inspired to take part in one of our forthcoming events or organise your own fundraising event.
