Fundraisers tee-off in aid of Foundation  

Foundation of Light’s first-ever Golf Day has been hailed a great success after raising over £10,000 for Sunderland AFC’s official charity.

Former SAFC players Kevin Ball, Ritchie Pitt, Martin Scott and Micky Horswill joined fundraisers taking to the green in support of the Foundation.

Following the 18 holes, golfers enjoyed a BBQ at the clubhouse and a prize presentation by the ex-Black Cats skipper Kevin Ball.
