Travis Perkins Managed Service organised a mixed netball tournament at the Benham Sports Centre to raise money for their new charity partner Bowel Cancer UK.
The fundraiser involved 13 teams, who played 39 matches, and has so far raised over £5,000 for the charity, to support people living with and affected by bowel cancer.
The charity tournament was made possible with the support of Northampton Netball which provided umpires, equipment and hall bookings, as well as sponsorships from some of Travis Perkins Managed Services suppliers, including BSW Timber, Geberit, Crossfold, CEF, Headlam, Safeguard, Baxi, Altro Flooring, Velux, Catnic, SBD, Aldridge Security Ltd, Mapei, Johnsons Tiles and Mira.
Sarah Glennon, PA to director for Travis Perkins Managed Services, said: “We’re so proud that so many people took part in the tournament and came together to raise funds for Bowel Cancer UK. Our choice of charity partner was inspired by our colleague Dan Trasler who passed away from Bowel Cancer earlier this year. We hope this tribute to Dan can also benefit others affected by the disease. We want to say a big thank you to all of our suppliers and partners who donated and helped us to reach this goal.”
The teams played 39 seven-minute matches, and the winning team was ‘The Comm-mercenaries’, while the runners-up were the ‘AM All Stars’.
