IBMG raises £16,700 for Teenage Cancer Trust

IBMG builders merchant branches has raised over £16,700 for charity in one day at its charity golf day, which was for the Teenage Cancer Trust.

The charity event was held at the East Sussex National at the end of June. The day welcomed 160 guests who formed 36 golf teams, 23 exhibiting suppliers and 15 auction prizes.

Allun Pittingale, IBMG’s group managing director for the South East, said: “A massive thank you to all our customers, suppliers and sponsors for supporting our charity golf day. Teenage cancer trust is a wonderful charity that does so much for teenagers going through incredibly difficult times. Thanks also to our many colleagues who dedicated personal time to organising this great event – it is thrilling to be able to hand over this amazing amount to the charity.”

Lynn Hyder, from the Teenage Cancer Trust, said: “We cannot thank you enough. We thoroughly enjoyed the entire golf day and are astounded by the continued hard work and generosity of everyone at Chandlers, Park and Fairalls Builders Merchants as well as all their suppliers and customers.

“Cancer can have a devastating effect on young people at a time when their whole lives are ahead of them, so your support will really make a different.”
