The Big Ball began as an annual fundraising event for children's educational projects, created by BKP Music and developed in conjunction with UNICEF. It is now firmly established as the creative charity for the creative industries, and the only high profile evening where movers and shakers from the UAE's advertising, broadcast and media industries can network and play without the tedium of an awards ceremony!

To date, The Big Ball has raised $350,000 USD for various children’s education initiatives. In 2010 we are establishing The Big Ball Foundation to roll out projects both regionally and internationally.  The 2010 fundraiser takes place on Thursday 28th October 2010 at The Palladium in Dubai Media City and table sales are already underway.
