HIGH Bonnybridge-based GBSS Civil Engineering will host the firm’s first ever charity golf day on June 9 at Glenbervie Golf Club in Larbert.
32 golfers will participate in the event, with proceeds set to support The Catherine McEwan Foundation, a charity which supports those affected by inflammatory bowel disease.
The charity, sett up in 2003 by Derek McEwan in memory of his late mother, Catherine, provides a range of non-clinical support services, including wellness programmes, scholarship programmes, and community days. Since 2015, GBSS has attended the charity’s annual fundraiser, The Red Hot Ball.
Derek McEwan will be coming along to the golf day to offer his support and encouragement to those taking part. Competitors include a mix of GBSS staff, suppliers, customers, and friends, together with friends and supporters of the charity.
David Owens, MD of GBSS, said, “It’s not long now until the first ball will be teed off at inaugural charity golf day. We’re all really looking forward to this event, and having encouraged our staff golfers to get involved in teams, we’d like to offer our thanks to everyone taking part, plus the management and staff at Glenbervie. We really appreciate everyone’s support, and it’s great that Derek is coming along himself too. We can promise a fun-filled day, with prizes!”
Derek McEwan added, “I can’t thank the guys at GBSS enough for staging this fantastic event, in aid of The Catherine McEwan Foundation, which has now grown to complete some pretty significant impactful work across Scotland. GBSS has always been a fantastic supporter of the Red Hot Ball for many years too, always taking a table, but they really have gone the extra mile by staging the golf day. I’m sure it will be a fantastic success, and I look forward to being there on the day.”
