Rushmore Golf Club celebrated an outstanding year of fund raising, with club members and friends raking in more than £9,000 in 2022.

Members of Rushmore Golf Club were overjoyed to be able to hand over cheques totalling £9,273 recently – the highest amount ever raised by the Club.
Club Captain Trevor Hewitt chose to support the Fire Fighters’ Charity and Ladies’ Captain Gill Smith the Royal Osteoporosis Society.

The bulk of the funds came from the fun charity day in May, when a giant raffle and silent auction, as well as on-course competitions and hole sponsorship, raised over £7,600.
Steve Ansell, Station Manager at Shaftesbury Fire Station, supported by members of his crew, received a cheque for £4,158.47. He thanked Trevor for selecting the fire fighters and said that the money would be put to good use in supporting fire fighters with health or other needs.

Jan Westbury, Lead Advocate Volunteer at the Royal Osteoporosis Society, received a cheque for £5,111.89. She also thanked the Club for the generous donation, which would go towards research and support services. Club Captain Trevor Hewitt said
“It has been good to have enjoyed a full year of golf and we are all pleased with the sums raised for the chosen charities this year.”
