Drive Productions has once again designed and produced this star-studded annual fundraiser for long-standing clients Cancer Research UK and the Marie Keating Foundation.
The annual Emeralds & Ivy Ball, hosted by founder of the Marie Keating Foundation Ronan Keating, is Cancer Research UK’s flagship fundraising event. This year’s co-host for the night was Christine Bleakley.
Drive translates the core belief behind Cancer Research and the Marie Keating Foundation by combining the elements of science, hope and ground-breaking developments to produce Emeralds & Ivy, which is a well-known and much-loved gala.
The team at Drive combine the skills of showmanship, originality and state of the art technological know-how to produce an event which is unique, bold and impactful.
Creative Director, Imogen Hammond said of the theming:
“The set dressings literally glowed under UV lamps providing phosphorescent Avatar inspired lighting effects. We combined the earthly and the organic with an otherworldly almost futuristic electroluminescence. I was extremely pleased with the results and the guests loved it.”
Alison Cleveland, Special Events and Bobby Moore Fund Senior Manager
