‘An Evening in the Ton’ will bring together live and silent auctions to support children and families in the Cayman Islands
George Town, Cayman Islands, 5 November 2026: A Franck Muller Swiss Watch Making Experience, fine jewellery and dining experiences are among the auction highlights planned for Help For Children Cayman Islands’ An Evening in the Ton, taking place on 14 November at 6 pm at The Ritz-Carlton. The fundraising gala will support programmes that protect children and help families in the Cayman Islands.
The Bridgerton-inspired evening will feature live and silent auctions, including confirmed Bridgerton memorabilia. Other anticipated lots include jewellery from Island Jewellers and lunches and dinners. Further items and experiences will be announced as the gala approaches.
Behind the evening’s entertainment is Help For Children’s work to prevent child abuse and support children affected by it. Funds raised will support this work in the Cayman community.
This year’s grantees are Cayman Islands Red Cross, One2One, NCVO, CAYS Foundation, Cayman Islands Health Services Authority, Cayman Islands Crisis Centre, Alex Panton Foundation and YMCA.
“An auction bid can help fund work that matters long after the evening ends. This gala brings people together to support safer futures for children in Cayman. We are grateful to the donors and guests whose generosity makes that possible,” said Baron Jacobs, Chair of HFC Cayman's Committee of Hearts.
The gala is expected to welcome 300 guests for an evening of music, entertainment and fundraising, with Vicki Wheaton serving as emcee.
“I’m looking forward to seeing which lots get the room bidding. The theme gives us plenty to have fun with, but the aim is simple: to raise as much as we can for Help For Children Cayman,” said Vicki Wheaton.
