SPORTING legends hit the green to raise £20,000 for The Myton Hospices.
The first-ever Legends Golf Day held at The Belfry Hotel and Resort welcomed 35 teams for a memorable day of golf, including football icons Les Ferdinand, Glenn Hoddle and Osvaldo Ardiles and Myton’s own team The Myton Fairway Finders.
Following the success of its inaugural year, organisers Legends Global hope to make the Legends Golf Day an annual event in support of The Myton Hospices and other causes.
Throughout the day, members of The Myton Hospices team supported the event by serving refreshments around the course and judging the hole-in-one competitions, before joining guests for an evening dinner and live auction hosted by Jonny Gould.
The £20,000 raised could fund an inpatient bed at Myton for 45 days, enabling the charity to continue providing expert, compassionate care and support to patients and their families when they need it most.
Ruth Freeman, chief executive of The Myton Hospices, said: “On behalf of everyone at The Myton Hospices, I would like to say a huge thank you to Alan Graham, Legends Global, Nigel Shanahan, Make Good Grow and 1 Mill St, and everyone who took part in or supported this fantastic event.
“Partnerships like this are incredibly important to us. The generosity shown by everyone involved will make a real difference, helping us continue to provide specialist care and support to people across Coventry and Warwickshire at the most difficult times in their lives.”
