The event was held at Dudsbury Golf Club and Spa Hotel near Bournemouth on Friday, July 8, and attracted teams from across the dental industry. Dentaid’s corporate supporters joined teams from dental practices and the charity’s trustees on the award winning championship golf course.
The winning team was The Grumpy Old Men from Henry Schein, The Qualident Clubbers came second with The Hackers in third place. Mike Todd, from Qualident, won the Nearest the Pin competition.
Helped by a generously supported raffle, the golf day raised £3,030 which will help to fund Dentaid’s projects around the world. The golf day also gave supporters an opportunity to see Dentaid’s mobile dental unit which will be used to provide outreach dental care for homeless and other vulnerable people in the UK.
“Our annual golf day is always a great occasion but this year was extra special as we are celebrating 20 years of improving dental care around the world, “ said Kerry Crook, UK and European projects officer for Dentaid.
“It was wonderful to welcome so many teams and the players really enjoyed the hospitality and golf course. We had so much to tell people about after our successful Real Junk Tooth Project in Dewsbury, our first volunteering trips to the refugee camps in Greece and the purchase of our mobile dental unit. I’d like to thank everyone who took part for making it such a wonderful day.”
