Greene King Pub Partners, the leased, tenanted and franchise division of Greene King, has raised over £5,000 for Macmillan Cancer Support.
The funds were raised at a charity golf tournament organised by members of the Pub Partners operations team for Greene King’s leased and tenanted partners in the South East. Suppliers including Budweiser Brewing Group UK&I, Heineken and Cubitts also participated in the tournament.
The tournament took place at The Letchworth Golf Club over an 18-hole golf course. A total of 20 teams entered the tournament, ranging from single-site and multiple operators with Greene King Pub Partners, to sector suppliers and Greene King members of staff. A team from The Kings Arms in Stow won the tournament.
To round the day of golf off, a charity auction was also held at the end of the tournament to top up the amount fundraised for Macmillan Cancer Support. All of the money raised will help the charity continue to do whatever it takes to provide vital care and support for people living with cancer.
Dan Robinson, Managing Director for Greene King Pub Partners, said:
“We’re delighted to have raised over £5,000 for Macmillan Cancer Support – as well as give our Partners a great day of golf! Thank you to all our Partners, suppliers and team members who made the charity tournament possible. Without you we wouldn’t have raised these significant sums.”
