A few brothers within our community including masjid trustees and tabligh jamah brothers and our imams held a breakfast for Muslim men at a local sports field for the sake of muhabbat within our community. Each brother was requested if he had the means to purchase a meal voucher for the purpose of buying what was needed for the breakfast. A notice was put on the masjid board. Soccer and cricket was also played at the stadium for the kids but everyone had proper clothes on (satr was covered). Is it permissible to have this function? The sole object was for the unity of the men within the community.
بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم

If the local Ulama and Muftis do not find any wrong thing in this system then it is allowable in itself.
Allah knows Best!
