Barclays FootGolf 24 gathers local businesses in support of OIAM Charity
On Thursday 19th September 2024, Barclays held their first ever Footgolf event at Calverley Golf Course, with One In A Million as their chosen charity.
There were 10 teams of 4 people making their way around 9 challenging holes in some pretty windy weather conditions. A special thank you to all who donated at the charity hole, where a ‘Closest to the Pin’ competition was overseen by One In A Million staff. It was hotly fought and congratulations go out to Zach from Azets who narrowly won the competition by a matter of millimetres.
Kathryn Hawley of Barclays said: “Over the last 10 years I have seen some of the fantastic work OIAM does throughout our area. As a local team, it’s been amazing to raise some funds for the charity, to help them continue this great work! The footgolf day was a real success, with lots of positive feedback received from our valued attendees. We are looking forward to holding bigger and better events in the future!"
The day finished with some much-needed refreshments at the clubhouse and a prize-giving ceremony presented by Wayne Jacobs, CEO of One In A Million, and Garry Mckie, Kathryn Hawley, and Benjamin Booth of Barclays. A great day was had by all who attended, and we look forward to seeing you all again next year!
Wayne Jacobs: "We would like to say a very big thank you to Barclays for nominating One In A Million in their first ever Footgolf day. We are incredibly grateful for their steadfast support and generosity".
We would also like to thank all our participants who gave so generously throughout the day. The donations received on the day will all help One In A Million continue to provide sports, the arts and enterprise programmes for children and young people living in disadvantaged communities of the Bradford district.
