2nd Lisa Wilson Golf Day raises over £4000

The Lisa Wilson Golf Day took place at Wellow Golf Club on Saturday 31st July. The event took place at the club where Lisa worked for several years, and where she also played golf and won the Gilbert Trophy in 1997.

154 members played in the competition along with 26 sponsors, family and friends. After the golf, ex-Saints bad boy Mark Dennis presented the prizes and Denis Bundy was master of ceremonies. During the evening there was a raffle and entertainment by tribute band Abba-Rival who had everybody dancing along. This second golf day was a great success and we would like to thank all at Wellow Golf Club and the members for their tremendous support. We would also like to say a big thank you to all our sponsors and friends for coming along to this special day.

Clive completes the London Marathon and raise over £6000 for Lisa’s charity

On Sunday 18th of April, Clive Wilson ran the London Marathon and raised over £6000 for the charity.

A message from Clive:

I would just like to thank everyone for their fantastic support for me running the London Marathon on behalf of Lisa’s Charity.

Your generosity will help five less fortunate students get their opportunity to follow their University ambitions and at the same time ensure Lisa’s name will live on. Without doubt this was the most difficult personal challenge I have ever set myself and probably the most rewarding moment of my life to complete it.

Southampton Institute staff raise £1000 in charity auction

An exciting evening took place on the 15th April at the Solent Hotel when staff from Southampton Institute carried out a Charity Auction at a staff conference on behalf of Lisa’s Charity. Some 24 lots were auctioned off by a professional auctioneer, items included Matt Le Tissier memorabilia, an Indian head massage, an overnight stay at the Solent Hotel and even a ‘slave for the day’. The evening was a resounding success and with gift aid should nett approximately £1000. Many thanks to all concerned, particularly Ben Craig for coming up with the idea.

Beatles evening raises £1600

A rousing night at Eastleigh Football Club saw over 125 people attend a fund raiser just a few days after Lisa’s 25th birthday. Most of the guests made the effort to dress up in true 60’s style and really let their hair down. The group the Phoney Beatles did two sets, one from the Sgt. Peppers era, and the highlight of the evening was the last session which played hit after hit from their great repertoire.
