The main fund raising event of every year is The British Casino Golf Tournament, which is held at Wentworth Club, Surrey on the last Tuesday in August. This year will see the 5th annual event and once again we are expecting a sell-out, with nearly 100 guys and the occasional lady competing for the coveted trophy. CHIPS benefits from all the money raised at this event which amounts to around £ 30,000 each year. Each golf day we also present at least 2 lucky youngsters with their brand new, custom made wheelchairs making the day special not only for the youngsters but also for our players, who are able to see, at first hand where we spend their donations.

In the past we have also been recipients of the funds raised at the ICE Ball, held after the International Casino Exhibition in January.

The amusement side of our Industry have also helped, donating funds through their golf days and recently through a sponsored walk organised by Talarius plc, operators of the UK's largest group of adult gaming centres. They raised enough to purchase 4 wheelchairs. We have also had a donation from the Rotary Club, who sold supermarket trolley token key-rings and raised enough money to purchase 2 wheelchairs.

The Casino and Gaming Industry in the UK is extremely generous, but more is always needed, as so many youngsters need the help of CHIPS.

CHIPS needs your support.
