BIG HEARTS GALA: CELEBRATING A SUCCESSFUL NIGHT!
We are thrilled to announce the incredible success of our 2024 #BigHeartsGala, welcoming over 200 guests for an inspiring evening at Tynecastle Park.
The Gala is our charity’s biggest fundraising event in the calendar and we are overwhelmed by the generosity and kindness of our guests. Thanks to their support, we raised an astonishing £29,400 (and still counting), which will help Big Hearts to continue changing lives throughout 2025.
As the charity of Heart of Midlothian FC, Big Hearts aims to offer adults and children free
opportunities to help them live a safe and fulfilling life. As an award-winning charity, we embrace the power of the Club’s crest to address the main challenges on our doorstep.
All funds raised at the Big Hearts Gala, through ticket sales and main auction, will go towards supporting our vital work using the incredible power of football to create positive change.
The Gala fundraiser is our most prestigious event of the year, and we were thrilled to have BBC Scotland’s ‘A View From The Terrace’ panelist, Robert Borthwick, as our host! This special evening gave Hearts fans the unique chance to come together at Tynecastle Park, to celebrate and support their Club’s charity.
A highlight of the night was welcoming former Hearts’ players Juanjo, Bruno Aguiar and Saulius Mikoliūnas back to Gorgie to support Big Hearts, whilst reminiscing and sharing stories from their time in maroon!
All photos from the night are available here.
A heartfelt thank you to everyone who attended, contributing towards the success of the Big Hearts Gala, we are very grateful to everyone for their continued support!
A special thank you to our fantastic team of volunteers, whose hard work and dedication on the night truly made a difference. To our Event Sponsor – Blue Parrot, and Community Sponsor – DPS Group, we are thankful for your amazing support towards making the evening a success.
Craig Wilson, Big Hearts’ Chief Executive said: “Big Hearts Gala 2024 was a brilliant success. The warmth and support in the room for Big Hearts and our vital life changing work was evident throughout the night and we thank everyone for contributing.
Our VIP’s, Bruno, Saulius and Juanjo, were also blown away by the impact their football club can have on the local community and were thrilled to be back at Tynecastle Park reflecting on wonderful memories and playing their small part in the success of our charity.”
Details of the 2025 #BigHeartsGala will be announced soon and we hope to see you there for another special evening at Tynecastle Park, celebrating the power of football!
