Leading Midlands’ law firm Sydney Mitchell LLP launched 250 balloons at Hogarths Hotel, Dorridge recently to celebrate the firm winning the Birmingham Law Society Law Firm of The Year and its 250 years in business – 1763 - 2013.

Karen Moores, Head of Family at Sydney Mitchell said “There are still lots of tickets out there to be returned.  The deadline for returning all tickets is 31 August, so everyone should keep their eyes peeled for a blue and white race ticket. The school holidays are a perfect time to get young ones on a hunt to find a ticket.  Both the finder and the purchaser of the furthest travelled balloon ticket win an Amazon Kindle!”

The balloons were launched by the Mayor of Solihull, Joe Tildesley with the aim of raising funds for two great charities the Tiny Babies Appeal for Birmingham Women’s Hospital raising funds for specialist neonatal equipment and the Maria Watt Foundation raising funds for teenagers and children with cancer and Leukaemia.  All funds raised from the balloon launch will go towards a fundraising target of £10,000 this year for Sydney Mitchell’s chosen charities.
