Two new companies have signed up to a golf challenge in order to raise £100,000 for Big C Little C – a charity which aims to help find a cure for cancer and also support vulnerable children.
Law firm Shakespeare Martineau and recruitment and retention experts Macildowie join Simple Marketing Consultancy, Fiscal Engineers, Breeze Corporate Finance and MKM Building supplies in the “2023 Three Bunkers Challenge” which is based on the format of the “Three Peaks Challenge.”
Held annually, this year’s challenge will take place on Friday 26 May and involves 24 players from six teams playing 27 holes of golf across three East Midlands Counties in one day. Starting at Morley Hayes in Derbyshire, Charnwood Forest in Leicestershire and finishing at The Nottinghamshire Golf and Country Club.
Organised by Bev Cook from Simple Marketing Consultancy, the event has been successfully held in 2021 and 2022 and has so far raised nearly £30,000. Bev has now committed to hold the event until £100,000 is raised and as a result, she was nominated and won an ‘Esther People Awards’ which was presented to her by Dame Esther Rantzen.
Bev said: “Although we have fun playing on the day, we know the serious part is to raise as much money as possible to enable Big C Little C to help find a cure for cancer and also support vulnerable children. I am really grateful to all the players taking part and their efforts to generate donations from their business associates and would like to thank them for their time, also the golf courses for providing complimentary tee-times.”
‘Big C Little C’ was established in 2018 to encourage businesses in the East Midlands to help bring forward the day when all cancers are cured and all children and young people are free to lead a happy and normal life.
