CRASH delighted to attend VolkerFitzpatrick’s annual Paul Lane Memorial Golf Day as charity partner
Held at the prestigious Belfry Golf Resort PGA course on Wednesday 3rd July, VolkerFitzpatrick hosted an incredibly well-run event, which raised a record breaking £23,647 in aid of CRASH.
The annual event, which pays tribute to late friend and colleague Paul Lane, Head of Quality at VolkerFitzpatrick, saw the collaborative efforts of the building division team deliver a great day out for their supply chain.
Guests enjoyed a breakfast and briefing before making their way to the course, followed by a minute’s silence for Paul Lane. Battle then commenced on the golf course in teams of 4. Golfers had the chance to ‘Beat the Pro’ at the 15th hole whilst making a donation to CRASH. In the evening, attendees gathered for a delicious three-course dinner, raffle and auction which featured a range of luxurious prizes generously donated by the VolkerFitzpatrick supply chain. Auction prizes included Golf Fourballs at various prestigious Golf Clubs throughout the UK, including the New Zealand Club and the London Club, as well as Hospitality Packages for Premier League Football.
A huge thank you to Corporate Patron London Building Control for sponsoring a £250 John Lewis voucher as a wonderful raffle prize – CRASH is so grateful for your support.
Following the success of their 2023 event, this year the 7th annual Paul Lane Memorial Golf Day brought the total fundraised to over £110k since the event started – CRASH is extremely grateful for VolkerFitzpatrick’s unwavering dedication to the charity, the support given through fundraising, Corporate Patronage and involvement in projects. The donations raised will go towards helping people when they are at their most vulnerable, creating places that care for adults who are homeless and children and adults experiencing hospice care.
“Wow, what a fantastic event the Paul Lane Memorial Golf Day was. This event is a big highlight for our fundraising year, and year on year people are exceptionally generous with their support. We know that events like this don’t just come together on the day and that months of organising and hard work goes into the planning so thank you to the team at VolkerFitzpatrick for all the time donated to making this event so successful. The demand for CRASH services is on the increase and events like this secure our ability to help homeless and hospices with their vital construction projects so a huge thank you to everyone who organised the event and all the participants for supporting us.”
