On Sunday (2nd July) One Stop Hire held the One Stop Cup, at the Anchor Ground (home of AFC Darwen), all in aid of raising money for The Christie.
With 24 teams entering; ranging from customers, colleagues and even one of the junior football clubs we sponsor (Blackburn Eagles JFC), split over 4 groups which guaranteed each team 5 games.
Steve Hitchen, Managing Director, said: “We were delighted with the turn out, both from players and supporters. It was a hard-fought competition, with some fantastic football on show and each team giving their all.
“All of the teams put on a magnificent show and tried their up most to win, but we have to say a huge thank you to everybody that helped turn the event into a raging success. Raising some vital funds for The Christie”
A total of 160 goals were scored across 63 matches. The overall winner, Cheetham Hill Construction, scored 17 goals and conceding only 4, on their way to winning the One Stop Cup.
From all donations and raffle prizes, a total of £10,000 was raised.
The Christie is the largest single site cancer centre in Europe and the first UK centre to be accredited as a comprehensive cancer centre. We treat more than 60,000 patients a year.
Anna McIntosh, Major Relationships Development Manager, said; “Thank you so much to everyone at One Stop Hire. Your incredibly generous fundraising efforts beam a huge amount to The Christie and thanks to you we are able to directly improve services and support patients, their families and loved ones during difficult times.
“One stop Hire’s donation has contributed to the construction cost of our new centre in Macclesfield, making treatments even more accessible for our patients in the surrounding area for many years to come.”
