Corporate football events firm halfway to £1 million goal
The venture said it was celebrating a significant milestone after raising over £500,000 for good causes since its inception. Its aim is to donate £1m to charities within ten years. The events offer football-loving professionals from any industry the chance to leave the work environment and enjoy a day of competitive football while raising money for worthy causes. Each company involved can fundraise for a charity of their choice ahead of the event, and the winning teams from the various tournament tiers from each event win a donation for their chosen charity.
Business Fives has corporate charity football events kicking off across Scotland, England, Wales and Ireland this summer. Bosses said the events have proven popular with a varied client base, bringing together a wide range of job roles on the football pitch.
