HOUSING UNITS
PRESS RELEASE
August 31, 2010.
GOLF DRIVE HITS 86 BIG ONES FOR CHARITY.
Most golfers would consider a score of 3,500 to be a little off par – but for 63 staff and suppliers of Housing Units it means a big improvement.
Around £3,500 was the total raised for The Christie Hospital on the day of the Housing Units Charity Golf Day at Saddleworth Golf Club on August 27, but the company’s charity events over the past eight years have now raised more than £86,000, improving lives across the region.
“The charity we support is the choice of Housing Units’ staff, and we have a superb relationship with Christies – so handing over the cheque will be a great pleasure as always,” said Nick Fox of Housing Units.
One winner was of course Christies, but the man with the trophy on the day was guest Danny Rice from Ashton-under-Lyne .
Danny Rice’s trophy was accompanied by a winner’s prize of a £200 Housing Units Gift Voucher and golf equipment.
“It was our eighth annual golf tournament, and the great thing about golfers is that they know how to have a great day whether they’re planning for fun – or to make a genuine contribution to changing somebody’s life for the better,” said Nick Fox.
“While everybody had a fantastic day, we did not lose sight of the fact that we were raising money for people less fortunate than ourselves. It is vitally important for local business to support local causes, and the best way to do it is to provide an enjoyable day that people want to return to again and again.”
