Clients the real winners at Charity Golf Day

Uniting AgeWell clients were the real winners at Uniting AgeWell’s fourth Annual Charity Golf Day on Monday, December 12.

The hugely popular day and the major fundraising event for Uniting AgeWell, raised $50,000 for the inspiring Wishing Well program, helping people we support achieve their dreams.  Watch the video from the day for all the highlights.

The event saw 25 teams tee off at the spectacular Commonwealth Golf Club, one of the clubs that form the famous Melbourne Sand Belt.

Soaring temperatures didn’t deter the golfers’ competitive spirit, with perpetual trophy honours and on-course competitions hotly contested. 

Congratulations to the winning team and Drinks Cart sponsor, Lion Dairy and Drinks who topped the field with a score of 55.5.

UA CEO Andrew Kinnersly said it was a fantastic day of golf and networking, with the sponsors enormously supportive for a great cause.

“We’re incredibly appreciative of the support we’ve received from our sponsors and players.  When extreme weather caused the eleventh hour postponement of our 21 November event, to have 25 teams return just three weeks later, is testament to their commitment to Uniting AgeWell and the Wishing Well Program.

“Raising $50,000 is a fantastic outcome and means the program can continue to bring hope, joy and happiness into the lives of the older people we support throughout 2017.”

Forty-two companies gave their support through sponsorship, registrations and donations.

Uniting AgeWell would like to thank everyone involved in the day for their generous support.  Particular thanks go to Platinum Sponsor Paywise Salary Packaging and Gold Sponsors Cura Pharmacy, Dominant and Ascot Group.

Planning is already underway for the 5th Annual Uniting AgeWell Charity Golf Day, which will again take place at the Commonwealth Golf Club on Monday 20 November 2017.  Be sure to mark the date in your diary!
