The Hampshire Cricket Foundation and the Saints Foundation have come together to host a Charity Golf Day at Boundary Lakes, the Ageas Bowl’s golf course.
The golf day, supported by JR Carpets Ltd, takes place on Thursday 1st October with proceeds from the fundraising day being shared between the Hampshire Cricket Foundation and Saints Foundation.
Ahead of the much-anticipated event, an online auction has been launched to raise funds for both charities. The auction features a whole host of fantastic lots, including signed sporting memorabilia, exclusive experiences and more.
The event, which will adhere to the government’s social distancing guidelines, will see teams of four enjoy coffee and a bacon rolls on arrival before tackling the 18-hole course.
The golf day’s partners Kingfisher Beer, Mermaid Gin, Piglets Pantry and Sanjha will have food and drink gazebos stationed around the course for players to enjoy.
Funds raised on behalf of the Hampshire Cricket Foundation from the golf day, the online auction and from generous donations will go towards supporting the construction of a new rehabilitation space in the general intensive care unit (GICU) at University Hospital Southampton, for which Hampshire Cricket have already raised over £50,000.
