$57,000 raised. Five years of giving back. And one event that keeps getting bigger.
Kate recently caught up with Perko from ABC Tropical North to talk about the Whitsunday Lions Charity Golf Day and what this event has grown to mean for our local community.
What started as a fundraiser in 2022 has now raised $57,000 for local causes, with this year’s event bringing together 130 golfers, 33 teams, more than 20 sponsors and 21 volunteers. This year alone, the day helped deliver $12,000 to Proserpine Hospital through the District Auxiliary.
But the numbers are only part of the story.
For us, this day is about what can happen when local people, businesses and community groups come together, have a bit of fun and get behind something that genuinely makes a difference.
Have a listen to Kate’s chat about the event, the recent media coverage and why this is one day on our calendar we’re incredibly proud to be part of.
And with next year’s event set to be played over 18 holes, there’s plenty more to come.
