Cowdray Park golfers plan to help more dreams come true

COWDRAY Park Golfers are aiming to raise over £5,000 for the children's charity Dreams Come True at Cowdray Park Golf Club on July 9.

The event, in association with Budgens Kavanagh, has 20 teams taking part with a mix of local and national businesses and individual supporters of the charity.

The charity, which fulfils the dreams of terminally and seriously ill children, is celebrating its 20th anniversary this year and this is a key event to highlight the charity's achievement and underline the commitment to make many more dreams come true in the future.

The day's activities will begin with a breakfast to 'tee off' a silent auction, with various golfing competitions and challenges during the day, designed to help the charity reach the target of 5,000.

A charity auction to win two champagne balloon flights, a private firework display, VIP passes to Brands Hatch, a specially framed tribute to George Best, signed by the football legend himself, and a holiday break in a fabulous country cottage in Normandy will ensure plenty of money is raised to help terminally and seriously ill children.

A spectacular firework display will close the evening at 10.30pm.

"We are delighted Budgens Kavanagh has come on board and thank Cowdray Park Golf Club for holding the event," said Philip Pride, fundraising manager, at Dreams Come True.

"The aim of the day is to have plenty of fun and to raise as much as we can to fulfil more dreams.

"In our 20th anniversary year we are aiming to increase the number of dreams fulfilled by 20% during 2008. We currently fulfil a dream a day but to reach our target we need to fund 75 more dreams on top of this."
