ATPI, a prominent travel management agency and global partner to the energy sector, recently celebrated the 30th anniversary of its annual golf classic event with great success. The highly anticipated event took place at the Meldrum House Hotel and Golf Course, raising over £5,000 for two charities: Lifestars, a local organisation supporting children with additional needs, and Breast Cancer Research Scotland, in memory of former ATPI General Manager Helen Gordon.
The golf classic event, organised annually by ATPI’s Director of Business Development and Client Engagement, Willie McPherson, has raised over £40,000 in the past nine years, supporting various charitable causes. This year’s event was no exception, with sponsors at each hole, including OGV Group, Aberdeen Football Club, Aberdeen Airport, Qatar Airways, Emirates, and P&J Live. The day concluded with a guest’s dinner and prize-giving ceremony, with winners receiving exciting prizes such as holiday packages and custom-fit golf clubs.
Willie McPherson, the driving force behind the event for three decades, expressed his heartfelt connection to the event and its impact on the community. He acknowledged the dedicated support of the ATPI team, business contacts, and sponsors, highlighting the event’s role in bringing businesses together for a good cause. McPherson emphasised the significance of the event in engaging with clients and uniting for charitable support, showcasing the range of services that ATPI offers.
The success of the 30th anniversary golf classic event not only reflects ATPI’s commitment to community engagement and charity support, but also demonstrates the company’s dedication to leveraging business relationships for philanthropic endeavours. The event provides a platform for businesses to come together, showcase their support for charitable causes, and strengthen their partnerships.
The longstanding tradition of the golf classic event underscores the importance of corporate social responsibility and the impact that businesses can make in their local communities. ATPI’s continued commitment to hosting this event year after year reflects the company’s values of giving back and making a positive difference.
As ATPI marks 30 years of the golf classic event, they look forward to hosting more successful fundraising initiatives in the future, further demonstrating their dedication to supporting charitable causes and uniting businesses for a worthy cause.
