Hunter Tees Off For Community
Last Friday, Fenner Conveyors hosted its first Community Golf Day with customers, suppliers and team members from across the NSW region raising an impressive $10,000 for Life Without Barriers, Newcastle.
It was an un-fore-gettable morning at Cypress Lakes Golf Course including Aqua Golf, Longest Drive & Nearest to Pin competitions, hole tasting from Peter Drayton Wines and MaltNHops Brewhaus, and the day concluded with presentations and a live auction featuring generous prizes from local businesses and Hunter Valley producers.
Our Non-For-Profit partner, Life Without Barriers, also hosted an activation on Hole 14 where players contributed to a progressive story to promote Hook into Books™ - an initiative which supports youth literacy skills.
The funds raised at the Golf Day event equate to over 370 'Travelling Book Backpacks' that Life Without Barriers will be able to deliver to communities across Australia.
Hunter Branch Manager, Andrew Lucas, said it was wonderful to host this event and have team members from all Fenner Group businesses come together, alongside customers and suppliers while giving back to the community.
"We are thrilled to be supporting Life Without Barriers to continue changing lives for the better with the funds raised through this event."
