The Five Stars Scanner Appeal has been chosen as the official charity of the Quinn
Direct British Masters 2007 in September.
Based in Prestwich, Manchester, the Appeal
will benefit from funds raised during the tournament week within the tented village
at The Belfry. Proceeds will go towards the £1 million target for a new MRI scanner
at Manchester Children’s Hospital.

The Quinn Direct British Masters will be played from 20 – 23 September 2007 on the
Brabazon Course, host to four past Ryder Cup matches.

The Five Stars Scanner Appeal has five ambassadors who strive to maintain awareness
of the charity and its goals while seeking support of celebrity friends. The ambassadors
are Manchester United star Ryan Giggs, actor Max Beesley, Rocky Horror Picture Show
writer and actor Richard O’Brien and Coronation Street actors Chris Bisson and Samia
Smith.

Appeal chairman David Reid said: “We have held a number of high profile fundraising
events at The Belfry in recent years, so to be involved with the Quinn Direct British
Masters is just fantastic for us.”

The Appeal will be further boosted by donations given by the tournament players 
for haircuts by the on-site hairdresser plus monies raised from the Taylormade charity
competition for the pro-am players.
