Tecsew Helps to Raise Money for "Oarsome" Charity

Gosport, United Kingdom, October 11, 2019 --(PR.com)-- Tecsew is delighted to announce that their 2019 product, the Easy Rig Awning has helped to raise money for local youth charity, Oarsome Chance.

The innovative Easy Rig Awning or "ERA" was donated to Oarsome Chance for their PBO Project Boat Auction at the Southampton International Boat Show last month.

In association with publication Practical Boat Owner Magazine, the Charity Silent Auction saw the exciting reveal of Project Boat "Harvey" along with other fantastic maritime themed prizes, raising over £3,000. The Secret 20 boat has also received resilient marine canvas offcuts and boat cushion material from Tecsew.

Tecsew Directors John and Ally Bland said, “We are delighted to have been involved with fundraising for Oarsome Chance and the grand reveal of ‘Harvey’, and look forward to following his progress and supporting the charity again in the future.”

John Gillard, Principal from Oarsome Chance said, “We are really grateful to Tecsew and the brilliant support they give to Oarsome Chance. By donating a prize to our auction, they have contributed to some very valuable fundraising for us – we really look forward to working with them again in the future.”
