Golf Day Fundraising

April 5, 2023

With British Summer time officially here, it's time to get the golf clubs back out and hit the links.

A golf day is the perfect opportunity to network, have some fun and most importantly fundraise.

The Silent Auction option is a great opportunity and way to raise funds for a chosen charity on a golf day.

A successful silent auction will have a combination of unique memorabilia, original artwork, bespoke travel experiences and bucket list hospitality. This will guarantee that the individuals who are present at the Golf Day, have enough options to browse at and bid for! Creating a competitive bidding atmosphere is crucial and this ultimately begins with tailoring the right auction prizes in the pre auction production.

If your golf day has been pre launched, and you have chosen to use an online bidding auction with QR Code, then a popular option is to launch the auction the night before the event. This will allow the players to take a good look and of course a chance to pre-bid, raising money before the first drive has even been hit!

With our event management team, we will make sure that every golf day will have the Go Fundraising presence. Our hosting team will be present on the day, to help with any questions regarding the silent auction. They will also set up a display presentation of some of the memorabilia and artwork included in the auction, this will be a great visual extra in the dining/hosting room and almost certainly catch the eyes of everyone in the room!

However after reading all of the above and you still don't know where to start with the fundraising for the day? Our team of fundraising experts are at hand to help you from start to finish, making sure your Golf Day hits its donation targets! Please contact us today, if you have any doubts or questions about your golf day and fundraising:

Restart RPA - Charity Case Study

February 23, 2024

With years of constant cut-throat and hard hitting battles, a Rugby player's career isn't short of any form of risk for a serious injury to occur. For those who unfortunately have their careers ended prematurely, often they find themselves asking 'what's next?' No athlete should face this constant uncertainty and lack of support just because the sport they play involves more risks. However one charity has dedicated its time, making sure no Rugby player should be forgotten and left to suffer. Restart RPA (The Rugby Players Association) Restart is the official charity of The Rugby Players Association (RPA) and we are dedicated to supporting elite men's and women's rugby players suffering from serious injury, illness or hardship. We provide financial and practical support to players and their families during difficult times, including help with the cost of medical treatment, rehabilitation equipment and disability support. We’re also there when players need emotional support to help with mental health issues, by providing a 24/7 Confidential Counselling Service. We receive no government or lottery funding so the work we do is funded entirely through voluntary donations and fundraising activity. We completely rely on the support of businesses, rugby supporters, fundraisers, generous donors and the players themselves to raise funds each year for those in need. A considerable amount of pro bono support is given by the Rugby Players Association including staff time, office space and fundraising opportunities at high-profile commercial events. Former England and Wasps player, Damian Hopley was forced to retire from the professional game in 1998 due to a career-ending knee injury. The lack of support available to professional players at that time motivated Damian to found the RPA later that same year and then Restart as the charitable arm of the organisation in 2001. We work simultaneously with the RPA to represent players, giving them the voice they deserve and also providing them with support when they have nowhere else to turn.
