More than $170,000 was raised by Thomas Miller Americas and business associates at a Play for Pink golf day at Forsgate Country Club, New Jersey.
Some 108 golfers drawn from members of the Thomas Miller-managed UK Club protection and indemnity mutual, as well as TT Club, insurance brokers and lawyers, participated in the event held in support of the Breast Cancer Research Foundation.
UK Club board member Harley Franco and wife Lela of Harley Marine, TT Club board member Anthony Fullbrook of OEC New York and Thomas Miller chairman Hugo Wynn-Williams carried off the winner’s trophy, which was presented by US Shipping chief executive Al Bergeron.
Club members OEC, Royal Caribbean Cruises, Overseas Shipholding Group, Chembulk Tankers, Foremost Maritime, Harley Marine, Dunlap Towing and Phoenix Bulk Carriers all participated in the event, with the growing contingent of guests coming from all over the US and as far away as Venezuela and Panama.
UK Club loss-prevention chief Stuart Edmonston, who hails from Aberdeen in Scotland, also brought along his bagpipes.
Thomas Miller Americas holds an annual charity golf day, with this year’s event raising $50,000 more than the one last year.
