Charity Spotlight: Chewbacca Challenge
Melburg were pleased to be involved as one of the sponsors of the Chewbacca Challenge 2024 Charity Golf Day.
The annual event brought together 20 teams made up of 80 players from across a variety of industries all uniting for a day of friendly competition and meaningful fundraising. The event included a new partnership with Wasps Legends, a charitable foundation established by former Wasps rugby players, including Peter Scrivener, who hosted the 2024 event.
A special highlight was the hole-in-one challenge, with the grand prize being a brand-new Audi A3 available to one lucky golfer. Whilst there were a few close attempts, no one ultimately managed to secure the winning shot, but plenty of energy and excitement was brought to the final hole by all the players.
Thanks to the generosity and enthusiasm of all involved, the event raised an impressive £25,000 for the chosen charities. These funds were distributed between several incredible organisations, including Beyond Borders and TOGS – The Ollie Gobat Sports Foundation.
As a testament to the global reach and impact of the players contributions, we were honoured to see the below video message from SeeBeyond Borders in Cambodia, one of the grant recipients. Their message highlights the real and lasting difference the support of the Chewbacca Challenge has made in communities far beyond our own.
We extend our heartfelt thanks to everyone who participated, sponsored, donated, and volunteered to make this event such a success. Your continued support is what makes the Chewbacca Challenge such a powerful force for good.
The Melburg team are excited to participate in the 2025 Chewbacca Challenge as we continue our mission to invest in worthy causes that help those most in need.
