About Gala Sports Hospitality

Corporate Hospitality Football

Gala Events are proud to have been supporting the Warwickshire Cricket Board Under 15 Premier League since 2007.

This is an ideal chance for young cricketers to play in a very competitive competition and develop their skills, with further opportunities to progress through the academy scheme and into the County staff 'if ability matches ambition.'

WCB Development manager, Ed McCabe commented 'We are very grateful for the ongoing support of Gala Events. Their support makes a big difference to the competition and is appreciated by all competing teams across the county.'

Gala Events Support Macmillan Cancer

Gala Events are proud to have been supporting Macmillan Cancer Support for several years, through making donations of over £5k from our sporting dinner events.

Macmillan Cancer Support improves the lives of people affected by cancer. One in three of us will get cancer. We are all affected by cancer. We can all help. We are Macmillan. As treatments improve, more and more people are living with cancer in their daily lives. This means they need more than medical help, they also need practical, emotional and financial support. One in three of us will receive a cancer diagnosis in our lifetime and 2 million are living with cancer in the UK currently.

Steve Dourass, Area Fundraising Manager for Macmillan Cancer Support in Birmingham & The Black Country said “ To have the support of organisation’s like Gala Events is vital to help us raise the profile and funds to support the people who are living with cancer. The donations to Macmillan that are made from the Gala Events ‘Sporting Dinner’ events programme really help us make a difference to people’s lives – thank you so much”
