Anthony Walker Foundation Presents: Gala Dinner & Awards 2013

In July 2005, Liverpool teenager Anthony Walker had his life so cruelly cut short when he suffered  a racially motivated attack which resulted in him losing his life.Since then, the Anthony Walker Foundation - a charity established in his memory has been working tirelessly to promote awareness of hate crime through sport, music and education. By focusing on three areas, the foundation delivers workshops, assemblies and educational programmes:

• Challenging racism
• Promoting diversity
• Supporting young people

Each year, the foundation takes time to reflect and look back at the past twelve months, to recognise people who have made a difference and contributed towards accomplishment of the foundations mission. The annual gala dinner provides the perfect opportunity to do so. Liverpool Football club plays host to this year's festival and will take place on Friday 15th November. To buy tickets, visit Eventbrite to do so or call the office on 0151 237 3974 Hurry as deadline is Midnight - Monday 11th November.
