Sports fans can also bid for a tennis racket signed by John McEnroe and Pat Cash among other legends. For dance lovers there will be a pair of Darcey Bussell's ballet shoes worn with the Royal Ballet.
The ball on Saturday, June 7, will include a five- course meal, casino, and live band.
Fundraiser Caroline Butt said: "We are hoping to raise up to £10,000. With the tickets being £50 a head and the auctions of the shirt, racket and ballet shoes we feel we can reach that amount."
For tickets call 01702 220350.
