The Brompton Fountain Charity Gala

An Evening of Heart and Purpose: The Brompton Fountain Charity Gala

On 24th April 2025, The Savoy—the crown jewel of London’s luxury hotels—opened its gilded doors to 268 guests for an event unlike any other. The Brompton Fountain Charity Gala, curated and produced by Cosmic Violet Events, was not simply a fundraising event; it was a grand tapestry of hope, dedication, and dazzling generosity woven together to change the lives of children at the Royal Brompton Hospital.

At the heart of the gala stood Jess Wright, television personality and passionate ambassador for The Brompton Fountain. Her voice, both steady and deeply moving, set the tone for an evening where every note resonated with emotion. Jess’s son, Presley, was born with a heart defect—a detail that brought a poignant sincerity to her words and to the mission of the night. Alongside her, Trudy, the unwavering Head of The Brompton Fountain, infused the event with warmth and humanity, reminding everyone of the real families and young lives at the centre of the charity’s work.

In rallying a dream team of suppliers—many of whom donated their services—we saw the true magic of collaboration come alive. The outpouring of support mirrored the cause itself: a community standing together for children who need it most.

Highlights: Entertainment, Emotion and Extraordinary Giving

The Function Band and BeatPlayLive whipped energy through the room, ensuring every guest felt the pulse of celebration. When Sydnie Christmas took centre-stage to perform three soul-stirring numbers, the audience was awestruck—not a dry eye remained. The emotional undertones peaked as Jess Wright, with unguarded honesty, spoke of Presley’s journey. Her brother Mark Wright followed, amplifying the message of hope and gratitude. Later, doctors from Royal Brompton Hospital took the microphone, sharing stories that reminded everyone why their support mattered.

"What shone through the entire night was not simply wealth or prestige, but empathy—a true sense of community wrapped in sequins and song."

The charity auction, presided over by the ever-charismatic Andrew Binstock, created an electric buzz. Bidders didn’t hesitate; their hands shot up, hearts on sleeves. By the time the final gavel fell, over £200,000 had been raised—a sum set to expand vital services at the hospital and bring solace to families facing unimaginable challenges. This total continues to grow, carrying with it the hopes of countless children who will now benefit from critical care, improved facilities, and steadfast support.

A Night to Remember: Compassion, Collaboration, and Impact

It wasn’t just the entertainment that lit up the room. Every supplier gave generously, turning the night into a showcase of unity and shared purpose. From twinkling lights to gourmet wines, from the soft thrum of music to the thrill of the auction, every moment felt charged with intention. OK Magazine captured every smile and tear; Matchbox Jewellery and I Heart Wines donated dazzling auction prizes; Tito’s Vodka and Moet Hennessy raised glasses to celebrate another year of hope. Ewan Michael Riley caught it all on film, while Chairs On Demand and SS61 ensured every detail felt flawless.

"At Cosmic Violet Events, we’re endlessly inspired by the passion, commitment, and creativity our collaborators brought to this event. Nights like these don’t just change lives—they remind us all why we do what we do."

Why The Brompton Fountain Matters

Every child deserves the chance to thrive, yet for families facing complex heart and lung conditions, the journey is daunting. The Brompton Fountain provides equipment, facilities, and family services that turn fear into hope. This cause touched every guest, artist, and partner in the room—especially those, like Jess Wright, who have lived through these challenges first-hand.

Cosmic Violet Events feels privileged to have played a part in advancing such a legacy. The spirit of the evening lingers, fuelling our commitment to support more causes that matter—and reminding us that, when elegance meets empathy, truly anything is possible.
