GM Fundraising has raised over £41,000 for Hope House Children’s Hospices with its GMF Cup 2021 golfing competition at Quinta do Lago, Portugal.
The event finally went ahead last month after two postponements, as founder Gary Morton, explained: “It was incredibly rewarding to finally be able to get it over the line and raise some much-needed funds for the families and kids at Hope House Children’s Hospices.
“It was an amazing achievement given the circumstances. A big thank you must also go to the staff at both Wyndham Grand Algarve and the South Course, Quinta Do Lago, for their patience and understanding.”
The event saw representatives from business across the industry, including software companies, extruders, hardware and machinery suppliers, as well as many fabricators. Two teams – Team Hope and Team GMF – went head-to-head with Team Hope eventually emerging as winners. The final result was Team Hope 14.5 and Team GMF 12.5.
All funds raised at the event will go to Hope House Children’s Hospices, which has a mission to ensure that no one should face the death of a child alone. It costs £6.5 million every year to run its services and 86% of this is spent on care. Over 95% of Hope House’s annual costs are met through charitable donations and GM Fundraising is its largest single donor.
