APAC Group tees up support as headline sponsor of Greenfingers Charity’s first-ever Golf Day

Hot on the heels of announcing its inaugural charity Golf Day, the Greenfingers Charity is delighted to reveal that APAC Group Ltd has wasted no time in stepping forward to become the event’s headline sponsor.

 

The leading UK importer and distributor of Christmas, Artificial Flowers, Ceramics, Floristry, and event décor, has snapped up the headline sponsorship opportunity, giving the brand-new fundraising event a fantastic boost just weeks after its launch.

 

Taking place on Thursday 15th April 2027 at Staverton Park, the first-ever Greenfingers Golf Day will bring together businesses, colleagues and keen golfers for a day of friendly competition, networking and fundraising, all in support of the charity’s work creating magical gardens at children’s hospices across the UK.

 

Linda Petrons, Director of Fundraising & Communications at Greenfingers Charity, said: “What a fantastic way to get our first Golf Day off the ground! We had barely put the call out for golfers before the wonderful team at APAC stepped forward to offer their support as headline sponsor, and we really couldn't be more grateful.  A huge thank you to Hannah and everyone at APAC for being so quick to say yes. We can't wait to welcome you to the course next April!”

 

Hannah Shoesmith, Head of Sales at APAC Group Ltd, added: “We always love supporting Greenfingers, so when we heard about this latest initiative, we knew we wanted to get involved! It’s a fantastic cause and we’re delighted to be sponsoring the first Golf Day. We’re looking forward to a great day and hopefully raising lots of money along the way!”

 

Still plenty of opportunities to get involved

With the headline sponsorship now secured, the Greenfingers Charity is keen to build on this early momentum and is encouraging more businesses from across the garden retail and horticultural sectors to get involved.

 

Further sponsorship opportunities remain available, alongside opportunities to donate prizes or contribute to the day in other ways. Whether supporting an element of the event, entering a team or simply helping to spread the word, every contribution will help make the inaugural Golf Day a success.

 

Players are also invited to register their interest, in teams of two, for what promises to be a fantastic day on the fairways.

 

Get involved!
