LGT Wealth Management raised over £69,000 in its annual dodgeball tournament for Demelza, a charity which provides care for babies, children and young people with serious or terminal illness.
This May marked the 11th tournament, bringing in 500 people from the financial services industry and making up 40 teams. Aviva, under the team name “Aviva Las Vegas”, came away as champions.
The event also included a fancy dress theme, with the top prize for costumes awarded to UK accountancy firm Buzzacott, dressed as flying pigs.
LGT Wealth Management has hosted the event since 2011, this year at the Honourable Artillery Company. In the past three years, the tournament has raised over £168,000 for Demelza.
Ben Snee, CEO of LGT Wealth Management, said: “We are proud to have raised a substantial amount for our charity partner, Demelza. It is an honour to partner with them and support their vital work. We extend our gratitude to everyone who participated and supported this year’s event; the camaraderie and enthusiasm of all involved make it a truly unique event for a very worthy cause.”
