Denis Law Legacy Trust’s prestigious annual fundraising dinner will return to the Marcliffe hotel, Friday 18th November. The already sold-out dinner will feature a unique world cup theme in advance of the FIFA 2022 World Cup in Qatar.
In anticipation of the glamorous event, here’s a sample of what is in store for the evening from inspiring guest speakers to exciting prizes.
Special guests
The Trust’s annual dinner always attracts stars and esteemed guests and this year is no different. Our guest speakers have all left their mark on world cup history.
Willie Miller won 65 Scotland Caps and is Denis Law Legacy Trust’s first ever Ambassador.
Joe Jordan is the only Scotland player to have scored in 3 successive world cup finals.
Jim Leighton represented Scotland at four World Cups and has played 91 times for Scotland.
Stuart Kennedy is an Aberdeen FC icon who played in the 1978 World Cup in Argentina.
The evenings events will be led by long-term host Alex Fleming and will end with a toast from The Lord Provost himself.
Live auction
Money raised through kindly donated auction items are crucial to the continual growth and success of Denis Law Legacy Trust’s range of impactful programmes that aim to empower young people within their communities. Including, the Trust’s flagship programme Streetsport that aims to improve the lives of young people through sport and creative activity.

There’s also two VIP tickets for Wednesday 21st December Battle Of The Brits with hospitality and an opportunity to meet Andy, Jamie and Judy Murray at their Q and A before the matches start.
Many thanks to the companies, organisations and small businesses that donated to our auction.
