La organización benéfica CHIPS, que nació en la industria del juego, recauda fondos muy necesarios para comprar sillas de ruedas eléctricas a medida para jóvenes con problemas de movilidad profundos.
El torneo es el principal evento de recaudación de fondos de CHIPS y ha permitido a la organización adquirir más de 700 sillas de ruedas, cambiando la vida de jóvenes y sus familias en el proceso.
Mirando hacia el torneo, la cofundadora de CHIPS, Linda Lindsay, dijo: “El Día de Golf anual ha atraído a un total de 25 equipos de empresas, incluyendo 500Logistics, Ambassadeurs Group, Aspers, Cammegh, Clarion Gaming, Colony Club, Crown Aspinalls, Fortyfive Kensington, Genting UK, Grosvenor Casinos, Harris Hagan, Hippodrome Casino, Metropolitan Gaming, MERKUR UK, Novomatic, Palm Beach Casino, TCSJH y Westcliffe Casino.”
Añadió: “Nos han donado una amplia gama de premios fantásticos para subastar. Junto con el golf en campos destacados como Forest of Arden, Woburn, The Grove y el Remedy Club, y algunas experiencias de hospitalidad excepcionales en el Hippodrome Casino, Clarion Gaming ha donado una Experiencia VIP en el ICE Barcelona de enero, que incluye viajes, alojamiento en hotel y una tarjeta Visa prepagada con 200 euros.”
“Estoy muy orgullosa de confirmar que literalmente cada centavo que recaudamos se destina a la compra de sillas de ruedas: ninguno de los fiduciarios de CHIPS recibe un centavo en gastos, lo que nos coloca entre las organizaciones benéficas más eficientes que se pueden encontrar en cualquier parte del mundo.”
