The second ever Your Harrogate and Fat Badger Charity Golf Day has raised £10,000 for two local charities.
The event was held on Friday 19th April and saw 22 teams take to the course at Oakdale Golf Club.
This was followed by a Gala dinner at The Sky Bar at The Yorkshire Hotel, where a charity raffle and auction took place.
Simon Cotton of HRH Group said:
"We love doing what we can to support our local community and give something back and equally love having a lot of fun, so having a charity golf day is a great way of achieving both.
“ The team at Oakdale must be praised for getting the course ready after such a wet and difficult winter for golf clubs and I can't thank them enough for looking after us so well.”
This year’s chosen charities, Sporting Influence and Harrogate Neighbours, have received an equal £5,000 share.
David Moss, Director at Sporting Influence, said:
“It was an amazing day and we’re delighted to see so much money raised for charity.
“The money will help us continue to deliver free programmes into primary schools to educate children in wellbeing and mental health, and also create free places for children at sports camps in the holidays.”
This year’s Golf Day is the second of its kind after the inaugural event raised a similar amount for Henshaws and Horticap last year.
Sue Cawthray, CEO of Harrogate Neighbours, said:
“We’re chuffed to bits. It was a fabulous day from beginning to end and we really enjoyed being a part of it.
“This kind of money is just amazing for us. We’re opening a new hub and this is our first donation of money to get it up and running, so it couldn’t have come at a better time.”
