The event raised a fantastic, record-breaking £266,000, which will make a difference to children both worldwide and in the local community through Unicef and the Foundation. These funds will go towards helping some of the world’s most vulnerable children affected by disasters and those living in the most disadvantaged areas of Greater Manchester.
Offering fans the chance to rub shoulders with the United squad, the black-tie event was hosted by Sky Sports reporter Geoff Shreeves, and there was also live entertainment from singer-songwriter JC Stewart and rock band Toploader.
Fundraising games and a live auction offered guests the chance to win a number of exclusive prizes, including a pair of limited-edition adidas Barcelona ’99 trainers, personally signed and presented to the winning bidder by Ole.
