Industry leaders are once again coming together to raise money for Carney's Community

This Thursday, the media and advertising industry's premier charity event, Media Fight Night, returns to the Park Plaza Westminster in London. Organised by Abbi&Me Events and proudly sponsored by Mail Metro Media, this annual event invites industry leaders to step into the ring for a worthy cause, showcasing the power of sport and community to make a meaningful impact. The event kicks off at 6 p.m.

In its mission to drive positive change, Media Fight Night highlights how the advertising industry can unite, demonstrating the strength of a shared purpose. This year, 16 finalists will face off in intense, highly anticipated boxing bouts, each contender having dedicated nine months to rigorous training in preparation for the big night. Originally, over 100 professionals from the industry signed up, each driven by a desire to give back.

 

A Growing Audience, A Growing Impact

The reach of Media Fight Night extends far beyond the event itself. Last year, over 160,000 viewers tuned in to the livestream, cheering for their favourite contenders and donating generously through the event’s JustGiving page. To date, Media Fight Night has raised over £1.7 million for various charities, including the Head & Neck Cancer Foundation and Off the Ropes, a mental health charity that empowers young people and adults through boxing.

This year’s event will support Carney’s Community in Battersea, London, a youth club dedicated to transforming the lives of young people from disadvantaged backgrounds. Through sports, arts, and educational programmes, Carney’s Community fosters essential life skills, helping young people aged 11 to 30 build resilience and confidence. All funds raised through Media Fight Night 2024 will go directly to Carney’s Community, enhancing its impact in the Battersea area.

John Maloney, co-founder and chief investment officer at T&Pm, reflected on the significance of the event, “Our industry is capable of incredible things. When we channel our energy into a cause, we can bring about meaningful change. Media Fight Night is a perfect example of this power. On one night, 1,200 of the media industry’s most influential figures unite, showcasing the good that comes from our industry. This event embodies why we started Media Fight Night, and why we’re still going strong.”
