The CHIPS Charity Golf day, which attracts teams and sponsors drawn from across the gambling landscape, represents the charity\u2019s main fund raising event on the calendar and has become a focal point for members of the industry and their guests who want to combine a day\u2019s golf in the Buckinghamshire countryside with fundraising for a great cause.<\/p>\n<p>Linda Lindsay, who co-founded the charity in 2001, believes the golf tournament is synonymous not just with CHIPs but also with the spirit of the industry.\u00a0 She said: \u201cGolf is a passion for many people working in the gambling sector and I believe there\u2019s no better industry wide tournament to be part of than the CHIPS Charity Golf Day.\u00a0 The idea to launch a charity that represented the caring and compassionate face of the industry and whose mission was to help those in the community who were less fortunate, was first raised at a golf tournament and it\u2019s totally fitting that golf continues to drive our fundraising.\u00a0 September\u2019s golf day, which will be our 17th annual event, provides the bedrock of our funding which is enhanced by the fantastic contributions made by the people working for and behind many of gambling\u2019s best known brands.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>She added: \u201cHaving attended the overwhelming majority of the 500+ chair presentations I know that CHIPS chairs really do transform the lives of the children who use them and also for their families. Our pledge is a simple one, and that is to help as many of those families for whom the NHS cannot or will not help as our funds will allow.\u00a0 I hope to welcome as many members of the industry as possible \u2013 golfers and non-golfers \u2013 to what I hope will be a sunny Woburn Golf Club.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"author__bio\" itemprop=\"description\">\n<p class=\"comment-form-comment\"><label class=\"show-on-ie8\" for=\"comment\">Comment<\/label><br \/>\n<textarea aria-required=\"true\" cols=\"45\" id=\"comment\" name=\"comment\" placeholder=\"Message\" rows=\"8\"><\/textarea><\/p>\n<p class=\"comment-form-author\"><label class=\"show-on-ie8\" for=\"author\">Name<\/label><input aria-required=\"true\" id=\"author\" name=\"author\" placeholder=\"Name...\" size=\"30\" type=\"text\" value=\"\"\/><\/p>\n<p class=\"comment-form-email\"><label class=\"show-on-ie8\" for=\"name\">Email<\/label><input aria-required=\"true\" id=\"email\" name=\"email\" placeholder=\"Email...\" size=\"30\" type=\"text\" value=\"\"\/><\/p>\n<p class=\"comment-form-url\"><label class=\"show-on-ie8\" for=\"url\">Url<\/label><input id=\"url\" name=\"url\" placeholder=\"Website...\" size=\"30\" type=\"text\" value=\"\"\/><\/p>\n<p class=\"comment-form-cookies-consent\"><input id=\"wp-comment-cookies-consent\" name=\"wp-comment-cookies-consent\" type=\"checkbox\" value=\"yes\"\/> <label for=\"wp-comment-cookies-consent\">Save my name, email, and website in this browser for the next time I comment.<\/label><\/p>\n<p class=\"form-submit\"><input class=\"submit\" id=\"comment-submit\" name=\"submit\" type=\"submit\" value=\"Send\"\/> <input id=\"comment_post_ID\" name=\"comment_post_ID\" type=\"hidden\" value=\"4088\"\/> <input id=\"comment_parent\" name=\"comment_parent\" type=\"hidden\" value=\"0\"\/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>CHIPs, the gaming industry charity that\u2019s raised over \u00a32m to fund a total of 535 bespoke powered wheel chairs for children with severe mobility issues, has confirmed that its flagship charity golf tournament will once again be held at the&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-223","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-sports"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v24.8.1 -
