Teams compete in Coole Bevis’ Crazy Golf Competition for children’s charity
11th October 2019Competitors putted for points during a crazy golf event which raised over £2,500 for Rockinghorse children’s charity.
Organised by Coole Bevis Solicitors, the competition was held on Thursday 19 September at Jungle Rumble Adventure Golf, which is based on Madeira Drive in Brighton.
25 teams from local businesses took part in the fundraiser. Players enjoyed 18 fun-filled holes across both the Caveman and Treetop outdoor courses during a stunning September sunset on the seafront. Money was raised from entry fees and a charity raffle throughout the evening.
Rebecca Turnbull-Simpson, Partner at Coole Bevis LLP and organiser of the Crazy Golf Competition for Rockinghorse, said, “What a great success the event was! Huge thanks to Craig and the team at Jungle Rumble Adventure Golf in Brighton for so very generously allowing us use of the course.
“It was a fantastic turnout and we are so grateful to all the local businesses that entered teams into the event. Well done to our overall winners Harper Stone Properties Limited who went home with the first Coole Bevis Crazy Golf Competition trophy. We hope to do it all again next year!”.
Terrina Barnes, Corporate Fundraising Manager at Rockinghorse, added, “On behalf of the charity, I’d like to express our sincere thanks to Rebecca and the team at Coole Bevis for organising such a great event which was enjoyed by the local corporate market.
“We are over the moon that their Crazy Golf Competition raised £2,580 towards our ongoing projects at the paediatric services and children’s centres we support in Sussex. A special mention to our friends at Domino’s Pizza for supplying everyone with some much-needed post-golf pizzas!”
