Stars heading to Leeds for the Matt Haycox Foundation fundraiser
Famous faces from the world of music and television are heading to Leeds on 26 November for “An Evening with Brian McFadden”.
The event aims to raise money for children’s charity The Matt Haycox Foundation, helping children in the UK with a range of issues including Cerebral Palsy as well as supporting fostering families.
Showing their support for the foundation will be Love Island stars Hayley Hughes, Paul Knops and Zara Holland. Real Housewives of Cheshire Dawn Ward and Lauren Stone will be among the celebrities confirmed as attending on the night with TOWIE star James Argent due to close the evening by performing with his big band.
Held at Leeds’ oldest and best known Italian restaurant, Bibi’s, guests will be treated to a red-carpet welcome, champagne reception and fine dining experience before international pop star and former Westlife singer McFadden takes to the stage to perform.
The evening is expected to raise over £50,000 to help the families of children from West Yorkshire in need of vital operations. Tickets are on sale on the Matt Haycox Foundation website – www.matthaycoxfoundation.org
Matt Haycox, founder of the foundation, said: “I’m thrilled to be able to announce what is set to be another brilliant evening raising money to support children in need of life changing treatments, and their families.
“I’ve known Brian a while and we’ve both been keen to put on an event like this for some time. The charity exists to make a real difference to terminally ill children and those in serious need of life-changing operations, and to be able to do so while putting on a top evening of entertainment such as this is what it’s all about.
“It’s fantastic to have the support of so many famous faces and there will be plenty more confirmed before the end of the month!”
McFadden added: “I’ve always loved visiting Leeds and performing there. It’s a special city and I can’t wait to go back for a great evening raising money for an unbelievable cause. It’s sure to be a lot of fun and I look forward to seeing everyone there and performing on the night.”
