City of Champions Gala Fundraiser returns to honour Manchester’s heroes
Manchester’s most inspirational sporting and cultural icons have once more been recognised and celebrated at a star-studded City of Champions gala fundraising event at Bull and Bear within the city’s Stock Exchange Hotel.
The City of Champions gala dinner is an annual event organised by DMSF, acknowledging the success of local people in the areas of sport, education and business, and especially those who are inspiring the next generation of champions.
Returning to Manchester’s bustling events schedule after an enforced break in 2020, the event once more welcomed two of the city’s most influential and successful sporting and business stars into the City of Champions Hall of Fame. Previous inductees have included British boxing legend Ricky Hatton MBE, and former England women’s football captain Stephanie Houghton MBE…..
