Grassroot Soccer 2023 World AIDS Day Gala

On November 30, 2023, the Ninth Annual Grassroot Soccer (GRS) World AIDS Day Gala at Lindley Hall in London raised almost $2 million for GRS, which uses the power of soccer to equip young people with the life-saving information, services, and mentorship they need to live healthier lives.
Featuring celebrities and high-profile individuals from the worlds of sport, entertainment, and global health, the evening focused on the theme of mental health - the most critical health issue facing young people globally, and one that affects other urgent health challenges, including HIV/AIDS. During the evening, GRS honored the television series Ted Lasso and the Stavros Niarchos Foundation (SNF) for their respective impact on mental health with the Game-Changer Award.
Attendees included: Christen Press, Tobin Heath, Brendan Hunt, Kola Bokinni, Billy Harris, June Sarpong, Dr. Phumzile Mlambo-Ngcuka, Fiona Ferguson, Ethan Zohn, and HALE ZERO, along with video appearances by David Beckham, Seth Meyers, Siya Kolisi, Phil Dunster, Nick Mohammed, and Cristo Fernandez.
