Shakespeare Hospice receives £5,000 from fundraising golf tournament
£10,000 worth of prizes, bacon baps, a barbeque and a beer buggy made for a perfect day’s golf in aid of Shakespeare Hospice last Friday.
It was a scorcher on the greens and for the 145 golfers who took part it was a day to remember and a time to remember those who have been cared for and nursed by the hospice team and their impeccable levels of professionalism.
The charity golf day at The Welcombe Golf Course was organised by Warwickshire Golf Sim with a target of £5,000 for the hospice in mind but that amount was beaten by over £300 thanks to the generosity of all who took part.
“There was a really good energy and vibe about the place,” said Shane Williams, one of the tournament organisers. “The winners of the competition donated £500 of their prize money back to the hospice and England footballer, Tyrone Mings also added £500 but he couldn’t be with us on the day because he was on international duty. Lots of prizes, lots of fun – it was just brilliant.”
Shane thanked The Welcombe team who staged the event and added that plans for next year’s fund raiser are already underway with the intention of making it bigger and better than this year.
