Golf Day fundraiser a swinging success

Blues Foundation’s first ever fundraising event was a roaring success raising nearly £2,500 to support future projects in the local Bedfordshire community.

On 24th September 2020, 19 teams battled it out in a socially distanced Blues Foundation Golf Day, held at The Bedford Golf Club.

The last of the Summer sunshine welcomed the teams out onto the 1st or 10th tee to kick off proceedings, with businesses from right across the region showing their support to raise money for the vital work Blues Foundation do in the community.

Blues Foundation Manager, Tom Harwood said: “It was fantastic to hold our first fundraising event at The Bedford Golf Club. All the funds raised will go into supporting our vital work around sport and exercise in the Bedford community. A huge thank you to all the businesses who have come out and supported us.”

When all the golf was done and dusted, it was time for the moment everyone had been waiting for… the announcement of the winning team. A huge congratulations to Greenwood & Partners for a quite remarkable score of 130 points, with Jarvis Partnerships in second and Simon Brading’s Team in third.

Congratulations also to Joanne Harrison and Rob Basden who posted the best individual men’s and women’s scores on the day.

A huge thank you from Blues Foundation goes to those who helped support the event on the day; Mike Cummins, Emma Cummins, Ryan Robinson & the staff at The Bedford Golf Club.

Blues Foundation Chairman, James Stonor reflected: “A massive thank you to everyone who made the effort to come out and support the charity. It was a great day, we’re really thrilled with the results, and we’ve raised a tremendous amount of money. All in all, a great success.”
