KidsOut’s Manchester Question of Sport Gala Dinner was a great success, raising over £20,000 for the charity’s work with disadvantaged children throughout Manchester. Over 200 people from Manchester-based companies joined KidsOut at The Etihad Stadium for a night of fun and fundraising on Thursday 9th November 2023.

KidsOut were thrilled to welcome presenter Darren Proctor as evening host and auctioneer for the Manchester Gala Dinner. There were more special guests in attendance, including former professional footballer Mark Lawrenson as the quizmaster for the evening.

In addition to the main quiz, guests could take part in two auctions. There were some fantastic items up for grabs in the silent auction and main auctions, including a break in Cortona for 4 people, a two night escape to the Lincolnshire Wolds, Pele Signed Brazil Shirt, Etihad Stadium Street Sign Signed by 11 Treble Winning Players, Noel Gallagher Signed Oasis CD With Poster, and an Xbox Series X. Perhaps the most exclusive item on sale was a one-of-a-kind signed Tyson Fury glove!

KidsOut would like to say a huge thank you to Kevin Hindley, as the Question of Sport event would not have been possible without his help and support. The money raised at this event will be used as vital funds to continue to supply Fun Days and Toy Boxes to disadvantaged children throughout Manchester and its surrounding area, helping KidsOut bring fun and happiness to disadvantaged children who need it most.

The date of the next KidsOut Manchester Gala Dinner is soon to be confirmed. Be sure to stay up-to-date with the charity’s social media channels for more details!
