In a remarkable display of dedication and teamwork, the Caval team has successfully raised an amazing £2,205 for one of the Caval Foundation's nominated charities, the Glasgow Children's Hospital Charity, throughout the month of June. Our efforts included participating in the Edinburgh Marathon, Tough Mudder Scotland, and a 5-a-Side Charity Cup, all to support this vital cause.
Our fundraising journey kicked off with the Edinburgh Marathon, where several team members pushed their limits to complete the challenging course. Not stopping there, the team then took on the exhilarating Tough Mudder Scotland. Kirsten, one of our brave participants, shared her thrilling experience:
"Tough Mudder really tested us, but I will say it was an amazing experience. It was great to see so many people come together for their own reasons and causes. Everyone was lovely and didn’t think twice to help each other. There were times when I genuinely thought I couldn’t do it but thanks to the team we pushed through. If anyone was to ask about it I would tell them to do it 100%! Nothing compares to that feeling when you cross the finish line and know you personally achieved something and all for an incredible cause."
On the 7th of June, our Caval colts showcased their football prowess at an exciting 5-a-side tournament hosted by Glasgow Children's Hospital Charity. The team excelled, finishing top of their group in the initial stages and proceeding to the quarter-finals with a thrilling 3-3 draw. They secured victory through a nail-biting penalty shootout. Though they fell just short in the semi-finals against this year's runners-up, their performance was nothing short of spectacular!
The 5-a-Side Charity Cup was not just about football; it was a significant contribution to a greater cause. By participating, our team helped Glasgow Children's Hospital Charity raise over £8,000 for the entire event. This fantastic achievement highlights the power of community spirit and the importance of coming together to support those in need.
We are immensely proud of our team’s dedication and the incredible efforts of everyone involved. Their hard work and perseverance have made a tangible difference, providing much-needed support to the Glasgow Children's Hospital Charity.
As we reflect on this month of fundraising and community engagement, we are inspired and energized to continue our efforts and look forward to more opportunities to support our nominated charities. Thank you to everyone who participated, donated, and supported us throughout June. Together, we can make a significant impact and bring positive change to the lives of many.
