The St George’s Charity Golf Day has raised £20,511 for charities on the Fylde coast.
The sum raised this year brings the total collected since the inaugural event in 2013 to £121,000.
The latest event was held at St Annes Old Links Golf Club and was organised by Mick Threlfall of Threlfall Transport and Mark Leech, operations director at Ribby Hall Village.
The event supported Trinity Hospice and its dedicated children’s hospice Brian House, ABF The Soldiers’ Charity, Fylde Borough Food Banks and the RNLI Lytham St Annes.
Mick said: “We are thrilled to have once again raised so much for our chosen charities through this event.
“We are very lucky to be so supported by the same teams, who return year after year for a great round of golf with such an important charity message behind it. These teams have become family through the St George’s Day event, along with the incredible people who support it behind the scenes and on the day itself.
“We simply wouldn’t be able to host this event without sponsorship from Tangerine Holdings owner David Haythornthwaite and everyone at Ribby Hall Village and their families and friends who volunteer on the day."
Jane Molyneux, Trinity Hospice and Brian House’s Fundraising Relationship Manager, said: "Not only is this event an incredible achievement for Mick, Mark and everyone involved in the St George’s Charity Golf Day, but it really does mean so much to the charities like ours that they have chosen to support.
“The money raised for Trinity and Brian House will help us to provide outstanding hospice care and support to patients and their families on the Fylde coast wherever they are, day and night.”
