Fundraising objective hits target for Gill
GILL Dawson was a busy Lady Captain at Disley Golf Club in 2017 and one of her objectives was to raise funds for her chosen charity – The Alzheimers Society.
She was delighted to be able to present a cheque for £1,000 to Stephanie Larkin from the Alzheimers Society
Gill said: “The main fundraisers were a Charity Day which raised funds for my charity and the Captain’s and President’s charities.
“Over £100 was raised from the sale of cards made by Bi Suk Knowles and I also had a charity bunker on the 17th hole.
“I chose the Alzheimers Society because both my mother and an aunt were badly affected by the disease so I know how cruel an illness it can be.”
