Trump Turnberry welcomed the Glasgow Children’s Hospital Charity last Friday following the legendary resort’s fund-raising efforts in 2022.
Continuing a fruitful relationship, a record-breaking total annual donation of £79,295.42 was made possible by the resort’s dedication to supporting the charity last year, with the Turnberry Titans’ participation in The Kiltwalk – an annual event that most recently made headlines in May 2022 – raising just under £21,000. The resort’s 19-strong team, the Turnberry Titans, donned kilts to walk a combined 297 miles through the streets of Glasgow.
Since being founded in 2015, the Turnberry Titans have striven to raise money and awareness for both the Glasgow Children’s Hospital Charity and another partner non-profit, St Jude’s Children’s Research Hospital. A regular calendar of social events at the iconic destination also contribute to its charitable support.
Ralph Porciani, General Manager at Trump Turnberry, said: “We take great pride in being able to support our partner charities, thanks to the enthusiasm and dedication shown by our staff throughout fundraising events like The Kiltwalk.
“It’s always brilliant to present the Glasgow Children’s Hospital Charity with a cheque like this, knowing the vital work they will use it for, and we look forward to working with them again in future.”
William McGowan, Head of Partnerships and Business Development at Glasgow Children’s Hospital Charity, said: “Trump Turnberry’s support is always appreciated – and we were delighted to visit them again.
“Every donation is important to what we do, and contributions like these can make a vital difference to the young people and families we work with.”
This year promises to be another busy one for fundraising by the Turnberry Titans at Trump Turnberry, with several high-profile events already in the calendar.
The resort’s popular Ladies’ Lunch will take place on August 25, supporting the Glasgow Children’s Hospital and St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital. In November, the eagerly-anticipated return of the St Andrew’s Day Ceilidh will culminate in an auction – in the magnificent Donald J Trump Ballroom – to raise money for both partner charities.
Earning a proud place in golf’s illustrious history, Trump Turnberry has been an emblem of the Ayrshire coast for over a century. With two championship courses, the Ailsa – host of four memorable Open Championships – and the King Robert the Bruce, as well as the nine-hole Arran, the resort boasts one of the most complete offerings in the sport.
Turnberry’s picturesque Edwardian hotel, with nearly 200 luxurious rooms and suites, is regarded as one of the finest in the world. A line-up of first-class restaurants and bars includes the signature 1906, where service starts at 19:06 every evening, and the Duel in the Sun, named after the legendary 1977 Open showdown between Jack Nicklaus and Tom Watson.
There is plenty to explore across Turnberry’s grounds and the surrounding area, including Turnberry Adventures, the resort’s selection of thrilling outdoor activities. Guests can try their hand at horse riding, kayaking or archery, among other pursuits, while classic whisky tasting sessions give the experience a distinctly Scottish flavour.
