Sheffield's cue ball charity event is to launch the world snooker championships.
The annual event will take place on the 17th of April.
It will donate all proceeds to local charities, Hallam FM Cash for Kids and the Cathedral Archer Projec. It will raise money to help children and homeless people in the city.
In the past it has raised around £100,000 for local charities since 2004.
Cllr Paul Scriven, Leader of the Council, said: "As well as celebrating the arrival of the World Snooker Championship. It is encouraging to see local businesses supporting a charity event at a difficult economic time.
The charity event is sponsored by Kier Sheffield and Interserve Project Services, as well as other key Sheffield organisations. Despite the economic climate, organisations are keen to be involved with the cause.
Company TDC will also take part in the event. Eamonn Hunt, TDC director, said: "Sheffield's Cue Ball dinner is a great celebration of the city's snooker heritage and as a local company it is a privilege to be involved with this event for the first time."
The event will be held at Mercure St. Paul’s Hotel and will be hosted by snooker MC Rob Walker, and will include Q and A sessions from Olympic diver Leon Taylor as well as other sports professionals.
Guests before hand, will be given a champagne reception in Sheffield's winter gardens, followed by a four course dinner at the Mercure St Paul’s Hotel accompanied with live music from Sheffield group Acoustic Angels.
Auction and raffle prizes will offer people exclusive, money can’t buy experiences, including a frame of snooker with Mark Selby, watching training days with Sheffield United and Sheffield Wednesday Football Clubs, and a dinner party for eight cooked by Mercure’s top chef.
