It’s official – there’s a new hot ticket in town! ChildServe’s inaugural Bubble Ball has sold out with more than 350 tickets sold and at least 25 corporate sponsors. The April 1, 2011 event was already moved to a larger venue when it became apparent that Des Moines was hungry for a bubble wrap-themed event, but the event sold out to the public after only two days.

With bubble wrap, blowing bubbles, bubbly champagne, bubble gum, and more, the event promises to be a fun time for guests and a great way for ChildServe to raise awareness and more than $50,000.

The party will be held at Embassy Club West and feature terrific food, champagne, live music, and a one-of-a-kind bubble wrap runway show presenting the works of local designers. Designers from 2AU Limited, dornink, Vitae Design Collective, Raygun, Sticks, and many more will exhibit their bubble-wrap creations from haute couture to chandliers.

Pioneer Hi-Bred, a DuPont business, is the Bubble Ball’s presenting sponsor, and more than 25 other local companies and individuals have contributed to the event.  Cheri Burns, ChildServe’s director of development and community relations, says that community and corporate support has been overwhelming. “For an inaugural event, the response from our community is truly astounding,” says Burns. “So much time, energy, and love has gone into this event from our volunteer committee, led by ChildServe trustees Soozie McBroom and Jim Willer. The event was entirely their idea, and we couldn’t have done it without them and their dedicated committee.”
