The charity dinner was held at LOA Restaurant in St Paul’s Bay on June 4th. More than 100 guests enjoyed a specially curated three-course menu prepared by MasterChef Malta finalists Nicholas Bartolo, Florina Silvio, and Christina Mousu – all for a good cause.
All the event costs were covered by the db Group, ensuring that every cent of the €8,419 raised on the night went directly to the Karl Vella Foundation and its work in providing support to families dealing with illness or loss.
Founded in memory of Karl Vella, who lost his battle with cancer in 2014, the Foundation offers free psychological support and provides a safe haven for families to find comfort, share their stories, and forge connections with others who understand their experiences.
So far, it has supported more than 350 adults and 700 children with a range of services.
“Our collaboration with MasterChef Malta has already raised over €20,000 for charity through two fund raising dinners and we shall look forward to sustaining this tradition in years to come. It’s incredible how much value we can create for hardworking NGOs when we rally the community for good causes,” said db Foundation chairperson Sandra Sladden.
A dinner organised last year by the top three finalists of the first season of MasterChef Malta raised funds for the Ursuline Sisters.
