London Sports Celebrity Dinner and Auction
Established
in 1956 by The Rotary Club of London and London Sports Media, the
annual Sports Celebrity Dinner and Auction is the longest running and
largest fundraiser for Thames Valley Children's Centre. Over the past
50 years, this annual event has raised more than $1.5 million to
benefit children with disabilities.
Every January brings a
different group of sports celebrities to this event—including
professional athletes, Olympians, any local champions. Bidding on
popular live and silent auction items adds to the anticipation and
energy of the evening. Auction items include trips, choice tickets to
sporting events, and autographed memorabilia.
As well, on the day of the
Sports Celebrity Dinner and Auction, approximately 200 young TVCC
clients gather at the London Convention Centre for a magical time
celebrating their own successes, meeting the celebrities, and
collecting autographs. It is an exciting time for both the children and
athletes!
