Generous Donation from Muir Group, Deer Park Golf & Country Club to Support Simpson Special Care Babies
Recently, Deer Park Golf & Country Club held its annual Deer Park Masters Pro-Am golf event, a prestigious golfing tournament that saw a spectacular turnout of 400 golfers. The event, spread over two sunny days, offered amateur golfers the chance to play alongside professionals in teams of four. More than just a showcase of golfing talent, the event also had a charitable side, raising an impressive £1,500 for Simpson Special Care Babies, a charity that provides essential support for families facing challenging neonatal situations.
Deer Park Masters 2024: A Memorable Event
This year’s event was a grand success, blessed with perfect weather and enthusiastic participants. The tournament, which has become a hallmark for Deer Park, brought together players of all abilities to enjoy the stunning golf course while supporting an important cause. The atmosphere was one of camaraderie and friendly competition, with players striving to make the most of their two-day golfing experience.
A Warm Welcome for Campbell and Hamish
Among those present to receive the donation were Campbell and Hamish, two young supporters of the neonatal unit. They spent their time enjoying the club’s fantastic facilities, running around, drinking juice, and savouring snacks. Their lively presence added a joyful spirit to the proceedings, showing the human impact of the charity's work.
Cheque Presentation to Simpson Special Care Babies
At the heart of the event was the presentation of the £1,500 cheque. Martin Smith, the chief executive of Muir Group, had the honour of handing over the cheque to Emma Coffey from Simpson Special Care Babies. The presentation took place with the assistance of Niall McLean, and the donation was warmly received.
Martin expressed his delight at the success of the event and the opportunity to contribute to such a meaningful cause:
"This was another hugely successful event with hundreds of golfers taking part. It was made all the more memorable because we were able to donate £1500 to the team at Simpson Special Care Babies as part of the event. They do incredible work in supporting families through very difficult circumstances and are a very worthy cause."
