The fundraising total is in and the third annual Your Harrogate Radio and Fat Badger golf day raised £11,000 for two local charities.
The event, which was launched in 2023, returned to Oakdale Gold Club on 9th May.
This year’s chosen charities were Harrogate Neighbours and Horticap, who will each receive a £5,500 share of the proceeds.
The golf day saw 20 teams take to the course in a Texas Scramble format to include golfers of all abilities.
Organiser Simon Cotton said:
“We love to support our local community and put something back as often as we can and having a golf day is a really fun way to achieve that.
"I’m extremely grateful to many of our suppliers who kindly donated via prizes, sponsorship or entering teams so we could keep our costs down and deliver as much to these two deserving charities as we could."
This year’s Golf Day is the third joint fundraiser by the two businesses and has now delivered nearly £40,000 to local charities over that time.
Adam Daniel, Commercial Director for Your Harrogate, said:
“It was another brilliant golf day at the fantastic Oakdale, who were so accommodating and continue to make it a special event for us.
“To raise another outstanding amount in £11,000 is incredible and we know it will make a huge difference to our chosen charities.
"After bad weather in our first two years of running this joint event, we were blessed with an amazing sunny day which helped see some great golf scores!”
Phil Airey from Horticap, said:
“We’re so grateful for the support we receive from Simon Cotton and the Fat Badger team and all at Your Harrogate for the publicity they help us with at Horticap and we’re delighted to see so much money raised for our local charity.
"This year we are buying a new electric van to help drive the students around to various projects and this fantastic amount of money will help significantly towards providing that sooner that we had hoped."
Sue Cawthray, CEO of Harrogate Neighbours, said:
“The sun was shining, the guests were amazing and it was a fabulous day from beginning to end and we really enjoyed being a part of it.
"This kind of money is just amazing for us and it will help so many elderly people in the Harrogate area as we continue our meal deliveries and ensure those in need receive a hot meal and are looked after.”
