Pitch In UK 2023
The Bennelong Foundation UK hosted a heartwarming "Pitch In UK," at the picturesque Pine Ridge Golf Academy in Frimley. This evening brought together the Crown Golf community and representatives of various local charities for a noble cause. The event aimed to raise awareness and funds for three deserving local charities: Home-Start Surrey Heath, The Hope Hub, and Big Leaf Foundation. Each of these organizations received a share of £30,000.
A Night of Giving Back
The highlight of the evening was the "Pitch In" activity, where attendees from the Crown Golf community were invited to spend their "500 Bennelong Pounds." This currency represented a symbolic amount that each participant could allocate to one of the three charities present. Before making their decision, attendees had the opportunity to listen to passionate speakers from each charity, who explained their respective causes and how the funds would positively impact their initiatives.
