Junior Achievement Isle of Man chief executive Sue Cook said: ‘All these fantastic young acts have been able to realise their potential and that’s exactly what our work with schools aims to do: equip young people with the life and entrepreneurial skills they’ll need to succeed. We’re very grateful to our sponsors and supporters of what promises to be a truly great evening.’
Funds raised from the event - which is also being supported by 3FM and Energy FM - will go to Manx registered charity Junior Achievement Isle of Man, dedicated to helping the Island’s young people gain employability skills.
