Scientology Gala – 12th Annual Charity Concert

Scientology Gala – 12th Annual Charity Concert

Over 1,500 people joined the Church of Scientology in Sussex, England for their 12th Annual Charity Concert. Hollywood actress and Scientologist, Kelly Preston, presented a check for £50,000 to Sussex Air Ambulance on behalf of the L. Ron Hubbard Foundation and the Church of Scientology.

Among the more than 1,500 in attendance enjoying the gala concert and giving their support were Mayors, District Council Chairmen, Town Councilors and community leaders from all over the South of England. Representatives from a wide variety of embassies attended, including from Cameroon, Bulgaria, Vietnam, Fiji, South Africa, and Liberia.

Many of the Scientologists who attended came in from all over Europe as well as the United States. They were also celebrating the International Association of Scientologists anniversary event held live there at the beautiful Scientology property in Saint Hill, East Grinstead.

The gala concert covered a wide spectrum of music – from rock legend Edgar Winter, Academy Award nominated film composer Mark Isham and Australian pop superstar Kate Ceberano, to ‘Italian Queen of Jazz’ Elena Roggero, drummer Woody Woodmansey (best known for his years with David Bowie and the Spiders from Mars), and the UK’s top jive band – the Jive Aces. Ms. Preston was the Master of Ceremonies.
