Ramside Hall hosts Foundation of Light partners for day of fundraising and competition
Foundation of Light partners took to Ramside Hall to compete in the charity’s fifth annual Golf Day.
I have been very impressed with all the groups and their ideas today. It’s great to see the passion the younger generation have for the Club and hear their ideas for getting more 18-23-year olds into the stadium. I would like to congratulate everyone for presenting and wish the winners, ‘Purr-fect Players’ the best of luck for the semi-finals. Sunderland AFC Managing Director Tony DavisonTheir idea was reflective of the current market incorporating video games and met the requirements of the brief, all whilst having a confident and smooth presentation. After announcing the winning team, Foundation of Light Education and Skills Lead Jas Singh said: “Every team has put so much work into their presentations and should be proud of what they’ve achieved. I know the judges took their time and went through each idea with a fine-tooth comb; it really was a difficult decision. I would like to say a massive well done to everyone who took part.” Sunderland AFC players, Duncan Watmore and Alim Ozturk also supported the initiative taking part in a Q&A with all the groups before presenting a signed football to the winning group. Watmore and Ozturk answered various questions and offered advice on how to deal with pressure, how to overcome barriers, and knowing what you do now what advice would you give your younger self.
