The sports on offer include cycling, volleyball, white water canoeing and rowing.
A host of Team GB Olympians and Paralympians will be taking part and joining in with social events too. Among the Team GB medallists taking part are:
For track cycling: Ed Clancy, Dani King, Pete Kennaugh, Rebecca Romero For rowing: Anna Watkins, Sophie Hoskings.
Operations manager, Jill Nadolski, said: “Our auctions are very popular parts of the powerBall event, and these prizes are unique. We are delighted to be supported again by Team GB in our efforts to raise funds.”
