Liverpool musicians Jamie Webster and Brad Kella will take to the stage at this month’s LFC Foundation Gala Ball, with Steven Gerrard leading the star-studded evening.
Taking place on Thursday 21 May at the iconic Liverpool Anglican Cathedral, the black-tie fundraising event will bring together supporters, partners and former players for one of the Foundation’s biggest nights of the year.
Hosted by LFCTV presenter and stadium announcer Peter McDowall, the evening will feature live performances from Webster and Kella, a three-course dinner, an exclusive fundraising auction and appearances from a host of Liverpool FC Legends.
Former Reds set to attend include John Aldridge, Gary McAllister, Sander Westerveld, Jason McAteer, Vladimír Šmicer and Natasha Dowie, plus many more.
Fundraising for Social Equality and Local Communities
Funds raised on the night, sponsored by Carpenters Group, will directly support the LFC Foundation’s work across the Liverpool City Region and beyond.
This investment helps to tackle social inequality through programmes focused on health, learning and employability, as well as Forever Reds, Liverpool Football Club’s official former players association.
Last season alone, the LFC Foundation supported more than 145,000 people, with more than half of the participants coming from the top 20 per cent most-deprived communities in the UK.
This data underlines the Foundation’s commitment to reaching those most in need through targeted local intervention.
Red Neighbours and Essential Support Programmes
Through its Red Neighbours programme, the Foundation donated more than £500,000 worth of support to local communities last year.
This included essential food hampers, stadium tours and matchday experiences, while providing and delivering 1,000 free meals every week prepared by LFC’s stadium kitchens.
Supporters have the opportunity to join Steven Gerrard, Jamie Webster and Brad Kella at this year’s event, with tickets available to purchase here.
The evening promises to be a vital milestone in the Foundation’s ongoing mission to support and empower the Merseyside region.
