Maidstone’s Black Lion Press has presented a cheque for £9,400 to Great Ormond Street Hospital Children’s Charity, following the fourth annual Matteo golf day – Matteo being director Mark Stokes’ son, who was born with a congenital cataract requiring complex surgery and aftercare. “A massive thanks for everyone who took part or sponsored.
We have now raised £33,214 in four years. The fifth event will take place next year and long may it continue,” says Mark.
Celloglas managing director Richard Gilgrass (left), with three golfing buddies, has just begun a 1,150-mile cycle ride in aid of Prostate Cancer UK and Melanoma UK. His ‘Tour de Ryder Cup’ (@TourDeRyderCup) will take in 13 Ryder Cup venues across the UK and Ireland over nine days.
Web-to-print specialist Vpress is sponsoring the ‘100 Project’, a photographic initiative that is raising money for a number of cancer charities. www.the100project.net.
Last but not least Print Research International’s John Charnock is attempting to raise £250 to encourage “grumpy ex-Picon chairman” Martyn Elmy to undertake the ice bucket challenge. www.justgiving.com/John-Charnock.
