Sponsors, we salute you!

So along with hundreds of other volunteers across the globe, we’re gearing up for this year’s Manchester Twestival; finding venues, seeking donations and of course, looking for sponsors who are willing to step up to the mark and support us in our efforts to raise money for a fantastic cause.
And we’ve been really lucky that three fantastic companies have agreed to sponsor our event. So please take a bow….
bmibaby, the funky low cost airline that flies from four UK bases: Manchester, East Midlands, Birmingham, and Cardiff to 30 European destinations.
KMP Digitata, one of the North West’s leading based creative digital agencies that count some of the UKs most prestigious brands in their client list.
Manchester airport, needing little introduction. Over 100 airlines offer direct flights from Manchester airport to over 210 destinations worldwide, connecting over 22 million passengers to more places than any other airport in the UK. Pretty darn impressive.
We’ll be talking a little bit more about our sponsors over the next couple of weeks (and there are others who are helping out in different ways) but for now we’d like to say thank you for agreeing to help us organise Manchester’s very own Twestival. Once again, there’s a very good reason why we’re doing this.

Your Twestival Needs You
Posted on: 16 February 2010 at 00:18 - Comment
Everyone involved in last year’s Manchester Twestival should be exceedingly proud of themselves. We raised over £4000 for an incredible cause and had a great time doing it. We want to help make this year’s global Twestival even more successful and contribute as much as possible towards the chosen charity, Concern Worldwide.
Be sure to keep Thursday, 25th March free and follow @MancTwester for the latest updates and ticket information (we sold out within five hours last year).
Finally, but most importantly, as every twestival around the world is organised solely by volunteers (who have day jobs, kids, dogs etc) the more people who get involved the better. Specifically we’re looking for:
- Help updating/maintaining the blog
- PR support
- Donations for our charity auction (some incredible donations last year)
- Contributions to our goody bags
- Help organising the event (including technical help with streaming, audio and visual)
- Helping hands on the night itself.
If you think you can lend a hand please do get in touch via @MancTwester or email katie at prandsocial dot com. We are also having a volunteers meetup on Thursday 18th February at 6pm in Rain Bar, just turn up and say hello!
Over a grand and still counting

MancTwester Local saw people turn out from all parts of Manchester’s digital community - academics, agencies, client side. The charity auction got pulses racing with a Wii, a case of Tsing Dao beer, a box of goodies from Durex and a NorthFace ice wall climbing experience. Marv was on the decks till late and a good time was had by all.
Big thanks to Sun Microsystems for sponsoring the event, McCann Manchester for organising it, Andy O’Brien for his compere skills and HouseBar9 for loaning us the bar. Over £1000 has been raised from the sponsorship, charity auction and ticket sales.
We hope that St Ann’s Hospice will be able to put the money to good use.

Lucky lucky MancTwester.
Brazen and NorthFace have just offered to give us tickets to an ice climbing session as an auction prize for Thursday night! Glad we’ve got a wide range of prizes now, something for everyone (we hope).
Thanks again guys!
Have a Wii

McCann Manchester are helping to organise the Manchester Twestival this year and, to move things up a gear, are donating a Nintendo Wii for Thursday’s auction too.
Now we’ve got goody bags, football shirts, free cola, a comedian and now the chance to win a Nintendo Wii. If all of that isn’t worth a £5 punt, then just think of how the money raised could help the St Ann’s Hospice too.
Thank you to everyone so far 
Plans for the night itself

Win 1966 England shirt signed by Hurst & Peters

Big hand to Heroes Signed Memorabilia who have provided an absolutely brilliant prize for the auction at MancTwester! A 1966 World Cup winning shirt by two of the original members of the England team : Hurst & Peters! This is a such a fantabulous prize I’m finding it difficult to contain my excitement! Hence all the exclamation marks!
Buy a ticket and come along on the 10th.
