Elton John has announced a performance at the historic Stoke Park in Buckinghamshire on June 28 2014 to benefit SportsAid, a charity that assists young Olympic and Paralympic hopefuls who are striving to achieve their sporting ambitions.
At this intimate summer concert, for just 5,700 people, SportsAid is hoping to raise £500,000 to create a new athlete fund with Sir Elton John, whose support for the charity dates back to its founding years in the late 1970s.
Elton John said:
“I am so excited to be part of this landmark event for SportsAid and to be helping the young, aspiring sports stars of the future. I thought the London 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games were incredible and I was very moved by the ‘inspire a generation’ motto that accompanied it. The Games really brought home to me the sacrifices and enormous challenges that young people face to reach the highest level in sport – and from such an early age too. Their ambition and courage is a huge source of inspiration to me and I know we can make a big difference to their lives by setting up this new fund.”
At London 2012 almost two thirds of the British team were former recipients of SportsAid’s support, winning 20 of Team GB’s 29 gold medals and 27 of ParalympicsGB’s 34 gold medals.
Tickets for the all-seater, reserved seating event start at £75 and are on sale now, with hospitality packages available direct from SportsAid.
