The 2023 Gamma Ball Rally began in Chateau de Cocove in Calais and participating channel partners made their way across five different countries over three days, passing through Amsterdam, Zwolle, Hamburg, and Copenhagen.
Each team was tasked with decorating their vehicle in line with their chosen theme, and this year’s edition featured circus clowns, The Addams Family, Peaky Blinders, Squid Games, Vikings, Hogwarts and Barbie.
This year’s Gamma Ball Rally marked the event’s 10th anniversary, with the total money raised now at £800,000.
Daryl Pile, managing director, Gamma Business, commented, “The Gamma Ball Rally holds special significance for us, as it's a moment where we join with our channel partners to make a meaningful impact. It’s amazing that it has now been going strong for ten years.”
Jaime Williams, head of community, advocacy and events, Gamma, added, “I am so proud to have worked on the Gamma Ball Rally for the last 10 years, having been involved with all but the very first one.
“The rally has always remained true to itself over the years and our teams have upped their games with their cars and themes, building a great community spirit among our partners, suppliers and colleagues.
“The money raised is truly life changing and I am honoured to support our amazing charities Action Through Enterprise and SpecialEffect and hear about how the rally impacts directly to better people’s lives”.
Sarah Gardner, founder of Action Through Enterprise Ghana, explained, “The Gamma Ball Rally raises huge funds for Action Through Enterprise and SpecialEffect. It blows my mind how much incredible support we have from the telecoms industry.
“Over 10 wonderful years we’ve built friendships with Gamma and their partners that have been life changing, for people in Lawra and for me too. ATE genuinely wouldn’t be where we are now if it wasn’t for the Rally, and I’m beyond grateful.”
Nick Streeter, fundraiser, SpecialEffect, added, “SpecialEffect are so grateful to all involved in the Gamma Ball Rally for their amazing support this year but also over the last 10 years.
“The impact for SpecialEffect and the growing number of people the charity help with life changing technology really is huge and we can't thank Gamma and all the sponsors and teams enough.”
