On Monday 12 July, we hosted our annual Golf Day Event in aid of the Big C Charity ’30 for 30’ fundraising initiative; 30 businesses have each committed to raising £5,000 for the Big C in its 30th year. OneStream hit that target in one day raising a total of £5,025! The event which included 18 holes of golf at Sprowston Manor, followed by a three course meal and entertainment provided by comedian Russ Williams used sponsorship opportunities, a raffle and an auction with some exclusive items up for grabs to help achieve this sum.
Raffle prizes ranged from Paintballing, mobile phones and phone accessories to a blu-ray player, a helicopter lesson and a Wii. But, the evening got interesting as bidders went head to head to buy auction items including; two exclusive tickets to the home of the Vodafone McLaren team – TheMcLaren Technology Centre –a once in a life time opportunity kindly donated by Vodafone VIP, a Replica World Cup football signed by Sir Alex Ferguson and other footballers, an Armani Watch courtesy of Data Select, Fourball at Sprowston Manor courtesy of Sprowston Manor, Kelling Heath Holiday vouchers courtesy of Kelling Heath, a Golf bag signed by William Hunt & Bryan Gunn and a signed golf flag from Sir Alex Ferguson’s golf classic.
Sharon Hulbert, PR and Corporate Fundraising Relations Manager for Big C, said “We are absolutely delighted with the amount raised at Onestream’s Golf Day. Everyone there supported the charity by buying raffle tickets and by making some amazing bids in the auction. Onestream are one of Big C’s 30 for 30 business supporters and they have achieved their pledge for the year in just one day so a big thank you to those who organised the event. Money raised will be used to fund equipment, support, care and research for those affected by cancer in Norfolk & Waveney.”
