It follows her through the competition years\, when she fought for recognition and a fair shot on the world stage. \nAnd it continues beyond the track — into life after sport\, her family\, her charitable work\, and the new sense of purpose she has built beyond athletics. Tessa's legacy is one of unshakable determination\, breaking barriers\, and overcoming adversity: a true testament to an unbreakable spirit. \n\n\n01JamaicaEarly childhood before the move to Britain\n02Teenage YearsSocial & financial struggle on arrival in the UK\n03CompetitionFighting for recognition and a fair shot\n04GloryOlympic triumph and lasting recognition\n05Beyond SportFamily\, charity\, and a new sense of purpose\n\n\n\n\n				\n				\n					\n		\n					\n		\n				\n						\n					\n			\n						\n				\n					\n\n\nKey Objectives\nWhat the evening delivers\nA one-night exhibition built to work as press moment\, donor event\, and public programme launch all at once. \n\n\n01RevealUnveil the exhibition to press\, partners\, and the public in a single evening. \n02ConveneBring corporates\, government\, schools\, and community leaders into one room. \n03FundSupport the live auction and wider public programme through the evening's proceeds. \n04LaunchOpen the door to the school and public programmes that follow. \n\n\n				\n				\n					\n		\n					\n		\n				\n						\n					\n			\n						\n				\n					\n\n\n\nProgramme Schedule\nOne evening\, six moments\n\n1st October 2026\n\n\n4:00 – 6:00pmPress ReceptionTessa Sanderson & BGO\n6:00 – 7:00pmDrinks ReceptionGuests arrive\n7:00 – 7:30pmWelcome & PresentationTroy Richards\, Tessa Sanderson & Alexander Morris\n7:30 – 8:30pmNarrated Exhibitions & Short FilmGuided walkthrough of the collection\n8:30 – 9:00pmFeatured Individuals & AuctionSupporting stories and fundraising auction\n9:00 – 9:30pmLive Performance \n9:30 – 10:30pmAcknowledgement & Closing \n\n\n				\n				\n					\n		\n					\n		\n				\n						\n					\n			\n						\n				\n					\n\n\nPotential Guest List\n200 people\, ten kinds of guest\nA room built for reach as much as celebration — corporate partners\, government and defence\, schools and community leaders\, and the press\, alongside VIPs and future strategic partners. \n200TotalCapacity\n\n\nCelebrities40\nLocal Business30\nCity of London20\nBGO Staff20\nMoD Staff20\nSchools & Community20\nGovernment20\nVIP10\nPress10\nStrategic Partners10\n\n\n				\n				\n					\n		\n					\n		\n				\n						\n					\n			\n						\n				\n					\n\n\nBeyond the Night\nTwo ways the exhibition keeps working\nThe one-night event is the launch — not the whole story.
