Teeing up for charity in Advanced Manufacturing Research Centre golf day

A SECOND charity golf day held by the Advanced Manufacturing Research Centre raised more than £6,000.

The event at Abbeydale Golf Club in Sheffield featured 14 teams from various businesses and included a dinner and charity auction for the Weston Park Cancer Charity.

Prizes included a tour of the Red Bull Racing Factory and a VIP trip to the Vulcan exhibition in Doncaster.

Darren Hayes, the charity’s business development manager, said: “We are very grateful to those who took part and made the golf day such a resounding success.

“The cancer charity relies on the support of local businesses to continue its vital work across the region and the money raised will make a huge difference to the one in two of us affected by cancer.

“From those who played on the day to those who donated raffle prizes, we are overwhelmed by the amount raised from the event and we hope to continue working with the AMRC into the future.”
