Tenby Golf Club is proud to announce that £8,360.68 has been raised for The Paul Sartori Foundation, chosen as their Charity of the Year by Club Captain Heather Morgan.
Heather’s captaincy is particularly significant as she is only the second female Golf Club Captain since the club was founded in 1888. Her decision to support The Paul Sartori Foundation is deeply personal, following the care and compassion the charity provided while her mother was nearing the end of her life.
Heather’s mother, who lived to the remarkable age of 97, was able to remain at home, where she wished to be, thanks to the support of Paul Sartori’s clinical team. Heather has often said that she could not have managed without the wonderful clinical staff who supported both her mother and her family during that time. Because of this experience, Heather wanted her captaincy not only to raise vital funds, but also to raise awareness of the charity and the services it provides across Pembrokeshire.
Heather’s fundraising year was packed with creative and well-supported events, including a charity golf day, Captain’s Day, and a night golf event, which proved to be hugely popular and great fun for everyone involved. Additional events included quiz nights with themed food, a special evening of song performed by Tenby Male Voice Choir, as well as an Easter raffle and a Christmas raffle. Each event was enthusiastically supported by members and guests, contributing to the phenomenal final total.
Joanne Lutwyche, Events and Fundraising Officer for the Paul Sartori Foundation, said:
“Becoming a charity of the year is a great privilege for us, and we always aim to support our community fundraisers as much as possible during the time we are chosen. Our Fundraising and Events team have been astonished by the generosity of the golfers throughout the year. We have been invited to support events at Tenby Golf Club, and they have been great fun to be part of.”
The Paul Sartori Foundation would like to extend its heartfelt thanks to Heather Morgan, Tenby Golf Club, and all those who took part in making this fundraising year such an outstanding success. The funds raised will help support hospice at home care for people living with life-limiting illness, enabling more families to receive care and comfort where it matters most.
