CPS Charity Golf Day Arrives Tomorrow
Published: 16/05/24
Community Pharmacy Scotland is preparing to host our 10th Annual Charity Golf Day at the prestigious Mar Hall Golf and Spa Resort. Tomorrow marks a significant milestone in our journey of giving back, and we couldn't be more excited to welcome you to this special event.
This year, our Charity Golf Day carries even greater significance as we come together to honor the memory of Gavin Hagart, the beloved figure behind ProntaPrint. Gavin's support has been a cornerstone of our charity efforts, from fulfilling all of CPS's printing requirements for over two decades to generously sponsoring the Halfway House and Longest Drive competitions in previous years. His spirit of generosity and community-mindedness continues to inspire us all.
In Gavin's memory, we have partnered with St Columba’s Hospice, an independent charity offering free, flexible, and person-centered palliative care and support to patients and their families. The compassionate care provided by the St. Columba’s Hospice team was a source of comfort and solace for Gavin and his family during their time of need. Tomorrow, we rally together to ensure that this vital support continues to be available to those who need it most.
We extend our heartfelt gratitude to all our sponsors, participants, and supporters who have joined us in this endeavor. Your contributions will enable St Columba’s Hospice to carry out its invaluable work, bringing comfort and dignity to individuals and families facing life's most challenging moments.
For those joining us tomorrow, rest assured that every detail has been meticulously planned to ensure a day of enjoyment, camaraderie. From the bacon rolls, tea, and coffee on arrival to the exhilarating round of golf with sponsored holes and competitions, followed by a delicious lunch and a three-course evening dinner.
As the eve of impact draws near, we invite you to join us in this celebration of generosity, community, and compassion. Together, let's tee off for a cause and make a lasting difference in the lives of those supported by St Columba’s Hospice.
