Macmillan Cancer Support has received a bumper donation of £30,000 from Betfred following their annual sponsorship campaign during the
World Matchplay.
For the second consecutive year, tournament sponsor Betfred launched a campaign where money could be raised for Macmillan Cancer Support in a variety of ways.
Per 180 score, 50 pounds would be transferred. A total of 324 maximum scores were thrown during the World Matchplay, already bringing in 16,200 pounds.
There was also a Nine-Dart Charity Challenge, in which celebrities could participate. Per point scored, 1 pound was added to the total. This action generated 9793 pounds, which already brought the amount raised to 25,993 pounds. Betfred then decided to increase the amount to 30,000 pounds.
