Brown Shipley Crowned Charity Football Champions
- Brown Shipley
Private banking firm Brown Shipley prevailed as winners in the annual JCI Manchester charity football tournament after a 6-2 win over accountancy firm Crowe Clark Whitehill.
The event sponsored by Grill on the Alley helped raise over £1000 for the Royal Manchester Children’s Hospital.
A total of 16 teams including Ralli, CBG Group, TheEword and Pannone took to the Lucozade Powerleague pitches on Tuesday 24th January.
Ralli narrowly missed out on a place in the final after losing on penalties at the semi final stage.
Marketing Director for JCI Manchester, Robert Illidge, commented:
“The event was a huge success and I would like to thank everybody for taking part and our sponsors Grill on the Alley.
It’s always great to see local businesses coming together to raise much needed charity funds especially on a cold, wet, January evening.
We’re always looking for new ways to fundraise and encourage ideas from our members and the public.”
In June 2011 members of JCI Manchester, the personal development organisation for young professionals and entrepreneurs, completed the national 3 Peaks Challenge raising over £6,000 for RMCH.
