Sponsored all night Games in Barrhead
Friday 18th November 2016Members of the 1st Barrhead raised a fantastic £2840 for Crohn’s and Colitis Clyde Group, helping to provide organised and supported outings for Crohn’s and Colitis sufferers under 25.
Twelve Seniors took part in a sponsored all night games event, which included basketball at 5am and volleyball at 6am. That evening more than 80 members and friends of the BB and Church family took part in a quiz night at Barrhead Bowling Club also in aid of raising funds for the group.
They chose this local good cause because one of their young leaders was diagnosed with the condition just over a year ago, aged 18, and this was an opportunity to give back for the great support and treatment she had received.
Jim Glen, Company Captain said: “Fundraising is an important part of our annual community outreach programme and I’m exceptionally proud of the group for their dedication and hard work in supporting Crohn’s and Colitis Clyde Group. It was the members’ idea to undertake and deliver this event, which has raised an outstanding sum of money over the course of the past year.”
