More than 400 of Birmingham’s most influential commercial property professionals have raised a record £56,000 for local children’s charities at the annual BRENDAs event organised on behalf of Property for Kids.
The glitzy, sold out annual fundraiser was held at the Macdonald Burlington Hotel and saw everyone from Ozzy Osbourne to William, Prince of Wales take to the stage in a spoof, celebrity inspired Snatch Game where contestants performed in front of peers to win specially designed gnomes.
Property for Kids Chairman, Jilly Cosgrove, said: “The BRENDAs is one of the most successful and highly anticipated events in the Midlands property calendar. Raising in excess of £500,000 since its inception in the 1980’s we’ve been able to facilitate play areas and even supply minibuses to some phenomenal causes across the city. This year, we’re looking forward to supporting some incredible causes including Young Minds Matter, Prevent All and Birmingham Hippodrome Education Network.
“When the property community in Birmingham comes together, it’s a tour de force for good and I am so proud of what we continue to achieve year on year. Thank you to all of those that made this an event to remember.”
The BRENDAs 2023 was sponsored by Estilo. Individual awards were sponsored by Vail Williams, GMI Construction, Nolan Associates, Benniman, Align Architecture, Nurtons, Ansty Horne, ESC, Willmott Dixon.
