InfoComm-Sponsored Golf Tournament Raises £21,000

A golf tournament at Buckinghamshire Golf Club on 23 July raised £21,000 for Sense International, a global charity supporting deafblind people in developing countries. The event was sponsored by InfoComm International, NEC Display Solutions and Buckinghamshire Golf Club.

The tournament offered the opportunity to play alongside professional and celebrity golfers, including football legends Ray Clemence and Luther Blissett. The Sense International campaign aims to raise funds for a pioneering programme to screen 300,000 infants in Kenya and Uganda. Between 10 June and 10 September, the U.K. Government will match donations.

"We're extremely grateful to everyone who attended the golf day," said Sue Piper, Head of Corporate Fundraising at Sense International. "The money raised will help us set up the first screening services for young children with sensory and multisensory impairments in Kenya and Uganda. A million thanks to all who helped us raise this impressive sum!"
