MAC Group Golf Day raises £6,000 for charity

MAC Group is thrilled to announce that our Charity Golf Day, held on 13 September 2024 at Ramsey Golf Club, raised an impressive £6,000. This significant amount was generated through entry fees, a raffle, and a “Beat the Pro” competition.

The event attracted 20 corporate teams, and the competition was intense, with just 1.5 shots separating the top three teams.

First place:

Döhle (IOM) Ltd – Group of Companies

Second place:

Kingsley Muti 

Third place:

RLC

All funds raised will be equally divided between our two charities of the year, Samaritans and Sight Matters, and will be used to support local residents. Sinead Nudd from Samaritans and Cathryn Bradley from Sight Matters shared more about their charities and the work they play in the community with the players at golf day.

Ed Walter, Head of Private Client Advisory, commented about the event: 

“We were delighted that our first charity golf day in several years was so well received by the Isle of Man business community. The work of Samaritans and Sight Matters makes a big difference to so many residents and we are proud to support their work. We were touched by the generosity of local businesses, whose donations helped us raise such a significant amount of money.

We would like to thank all participants, sponsors, and Ramsey Golf Club for helping us to deliver a great event. Planning is underway for 2025, and we look forward to welcoming everyone back at next year’s Charity Golf Day.”
