This year, Prostate Cymru’s mission to raise awareness and funds to tackle prostate cancer has been powered by the success of numerous corporate and charity golf days.

These events have not only provided a relaxed environment for spreading vital information but also contributed significantly to the charity’s efforts.

Prostate cancer is one of the biggest health threats to men in the UK, and through the medium of golf, over 2,000 men have been reached this year alone.

Prostate Cymru has been fortunate to receive support from various corporate partners, each motivated by a personal connection to the cause.

One standout example is Shufflebottom, a long-term supporter that chose Prostate Cymru after an employee was diagnosed with the disease.

The company’s dedication to raising awareness reflects a heartfelt desire to make a difference.

Jellyfish Business Solutions, Heatforce, and ISTL Engineering have also joined the effort, helping to ensure that vital funds and awareness continue to grow.

The Mike Phillips Golf Day has been a major highlight, raising over £20,000 for Prostate Cymru this year. Welsh rugby legends and charity Ambassadors Rhys Priestland and Gareth Davies participated in this successful event, bringing added attention to the cause and ensuring a day to remember for all involved.

Equally impressive was the return of the “Dawn till Dusk” challenge at Royal Porthcawl, a golf marathon that saw participants teeing off at 6 a.m. and wrapping up at 8 p.m. Sporting icons and charity Ambassadors Sir Gareth Edwards and Brynmor Williams took part in this gruelling challenge, further showcasing their unwavering commitment to the charity.

Llantrisant and Pontyclun Golf Club also continued their long-standing relationship with Prostate Cymru, choosing it as their captain’s charity for the third consecutive year.

The club’s support has been invaluable in helping the charity meet its goals and spread awareness in the community.

With the funds raised and the awareness generated through these golf days, Prostate Cymru has made remarkable strides in its mission to combat a disease that affects so many.
