Club partners Anthony Higgins Transport donated their executive box as a prize for The Prince of Wales Hospice, and helped raised over £7,000 for the local charity at their annual Golf Day!

Official charity partners of the Tigers the hospice, based in Pontefract, offers care for patients in the local area with life-limiting illnesses and relies on raising over £5,000 each day to continue operating.

All care is provided free of charge and is entirely based on need, although only around 25 percent of the cost is covered by the NHS. This leaves The Prince of Wales Hospice needing to raise around £3 million per year through its shops, fundraising events, donations, and community initiatives to continue operating.

The winners were S2S Group, who were also the winners of The Prince of Wales Hospice's Golf Day!

Castleford Tigers would like to say thank you to Anthony Higgins Transport for their brilliant support of the Hospice, as well as their outstanding support of the club over the years.
