Zudu’s Padel Tournament a Smashing Success for Chest Heart & Stroke Scotland
Businesses came together at Racket Barn in Glasgow on 29 April for a fun morning of sport, networking and fundraising which was a smash hit.
A padel tournament in Glasgow has served up £850 for one of Scotland’s leading health charities.
Chest Heart & Stroke Scotland is thanking Zudu for organising its inaugural padel tournament at Racket Barn in Glasgow, bringing local organisations together to get active, make new connections and raise vital funds for the charity.
The April event raised £850 for CHSS and helped to spread awareness of the challenges facing the 1 in 5 people living with chest, heart and stroke conditions across Scotland.
Anne Magarin, Community, Events and Corporate Fundraiser for Chest Heart & Stroke Scotland said: “We’re incredibly grateful to Zudu for choosing Chest Heart & Stroke Scotland as the tournament’s charity partner, and to the team at Racket Barn for hosting and helping make the day run smoothly.
“Events like this are a brilliant example of a different way organisations can get involved with Chest Heart & Stroke Scotland to bring colleagues and contacts together for something energising and memorable, while raising money and awareness.
“Whether it’s a tournament, a social sports session, or a team challenge, there are lots of ways to support our work and show your community what your organisation stands for.
“The funds raised will help Chest Heart & Stroke Scotland support the 1 in 5 people across Scotland living with our conditions to live fuller lives through services, information and community-based supported self management.”
Chris Dean and David Taylor of the Evelyn Brothers in Edinburgh won the tournament.
