The bi-annual Charity Golf Day organised by Cranswick Country Foods Preston raised an incredible £110,000 for the children’s charity; KIDS!
Held at the Forest Pines golf course in Scunthorpe, the event brought together teams of Cranswick's colleagues, suppliers and customers, many of whom have been supporting this event for several years.
The day kicked off with the golf competition, where teams showcased their skills and sportsmanship, including a delicious lunch prepared by Cranswick chefs.
The event continued into the evening, when guests gathered for a dinner accompanied by a hotly contested auction. The highlight of the evening was the presentation of awards to the winning golf team, Dunbia, and a hilarious set from the comedian, Scott Bennett.
Cranswick were also delighted to welcome representatives from KIDS who shared the incredible work they do around the UK providing practical, life-changing and creative support for disabled children, young people and their families, encouraging everyone to dig deep to support this excellent charity.
Cranswick has been a proud supporter of KIDs since 2007, when the first golf day was hosted and thanks to the immense generosity shown by everyone involved, a phenomenal total of over £532,000 has been raised for KIDS over the years, making a profound difference to the lives of countless children and their families.
Max Forman, Trading Manager at Cranswick Country Foods, who organised this year’s event, said “As a team we are delighted to raise such a substantial amount of money for a fantastic charity. It was an absolute pleasure to carry on with all of Nick’s hard work from previous golf days. The Cranswick Charity Golf Day has been running since 2007 and prior to this year’s event, had already raised an incredible £430,000. With the addition of this year’s amazing total, we’ve now surpassed the half-a-million-pound mark, an achievement we can all be incredibly proud of.
We can’t thank our customers and suppliers enough for their incredible generosity and support, it’s because of them that the day was such a great success.
We’ve now ambitiously set our sights on beating this incredible total in 2 years’ time!”
Congratulations to everyone who took part and supported to this year’s event.
