Kingsmills Hotel’s Highland Hospice Golf Day Raises £40,200
Kingsmills Hotel’s annual Highland Hospice Golf Day has raised an outstanding £40,200, adding to a long-standing partnership with the Highland based charity.
Twenty-four teams took on the course at Brora Golf Club on Friday 2nd October for a day of friendly competition in support of Highland Hospice. Players then returned to Kingsmills Hotel in Inverness for an evening of dinner and entertainment, with a charity auction and prize giving.
The generosity of players, sponsors and partners throughout the day brought the final total to £40,200 which will go directly towards Highland Hospice’s care for patients and families across the Highlands.
Kingsmills Hotel has proudly supported Highland Hospice through 18 annual Golf Days, it is a true testament to the calibre of the event and the team behind it that many of its founding supporters return year after year.
Tony Story, Chief Executive, Kingsmills Hotel, said: “We’re incredibly proud of our fundraising effort. Highland Hospice has been our longest-standing charity partner since 2007, and to date we have raised a grand total of £646,273.20 together. Every year, the Golf Day reminds us how much this community is willing to give. Our thanks go to everyone who played, donated and sponsored, and to Brora Golf Club for hosting us.
“We’re also delighted to be working with Cabot Highlands, who have offered their fabulous ‘Old Petty’ course for next year’s Golf Day. Our heartfelt thanks go to Mark Wright, Regional Vice President and General Manager of Cabot Highlands, and the whole team there who will help make next year so special.”
Karen Duff, Corporate Fundraiser, Highland Hospice, said: “The money raised will make a real difference to the people we care for. We’re hugely grateful to Kingsmills Hotel and everyone who took part for their continued support. This will support over 75 weeks of end-of-life care at home for our patients.”
The Golf Day is one of the highlights of Kingsmills Hotel’s fundraising calendar, having previously been held at Royal Dornoch Golf Club and Nairn Golf Club. Across all charity events, Kingsmills Hotel has now raised more than £1 million for local causes.
Golfer’s hoping to take part next year can look forward to teeing off on the Old Petty Course at Cabot Highlands.
