The popular August Moon Ball in aid of the Malta Community Chest Fund Foundation will take place on August 5.
Speaking during the launch, President Marie-Louise Coleiro Preca explained that the presence of the hundreds of people who attend each year is further proof of the deep commitment the people feel towards the Malta Community Chest Fund Foundation.
She added that this year the requests for assistance has doubled.
“We believe that nobody in our communities can be left behind or forgotten. Therefore, let us continue working together, to build a culture of inclusion, of solidarity, and of dignity, which we will be proud to hand down to our children,” the president said.
Marchesino Daniel de Petri Testaferrata, chairman of the organising committee thanked the Armed Forces of Malta and the police for their assistance during this event, during which both will entertain those present with their respective bands. He also thanked Brass House Unit, which will, once again, provide the entertainment throughout the evening.
Tickets for the Ball of the August Moon are available from www.augustmoonball.com. As from Monday, tickets will also be available at the offices of the Malta Community Chest Fund Foundation at San Anton Palace, or at The Palace, in Valletta, during office hours. Each ticket costs €80.
