The Sporting & Dining Club, with sponsorship support from PwC Isle of Man, hosted the latest sporting quiz event last September, raising £6,000 for local charities.
Every year, Question of Sport brings teams together from across the business community for friendly competition, networking and interactive entertainment. The 14th quiz winners are Standard Bank Offshore who took home the coveted Silver Claret Jug.
The event generated £5,015, with an additional £985 donation from PwC Isle of Man, each charity will receive £3,000.
Johann Marais, Corporate Responsibility Leader at PwC Isle of Man, commented: “We believe in making a real impact by supporting various local charities each year. Question of Sport offers a fantastic chance to contribute vital funds to two deserving causes. This time, we’re focusing on the Manx Family Centre, previously known as The Family Library, located on Westmoreland Road in Douglas who provide essential educational and wellbeing services for young children and families. We’re proud to sponsor an event that delivers enjoyable and memorable experiences to the business community while positively impacting our local community.”
John Wannenburgh, The Sporting & Dining Club, added: “It is an honour to host the annual Question of Sport event and bring together the island’s business community. I’m delighted with the funds raised for both charities including my charity of choice, the Isle of Man Foodbank. I extend my sincere thanks to everyone who attended, for their generosity, as well as to PwC Isle of Man for their continued support.”
