Charity golf day

Our annual Golf Day was held on the 11th of October this year. What a success it was! Starting with the stunning summer weather, to our full field, many sponsors and of course an amazing total of R105,960 raised!

A sincere thank you goes to our main sponsor, MECER, as without their dedication and generosity this day would not be possible. A big thank you must go to all those that sponsored holes, greens, tees and prizes, we received some really great prizes!

Trevor Quirk who was our MC really made the prize giving an enjoyable event and managed to raise R30 600 with his magnificent auctioning skills. A huge thank you to you, Trevor, for putting the icing on the cake and making our prize giving such a memorable evening!

This day would of course, not be possible without the players, and to them we say thank you. Thank you for your enthusiastic participation and willingness in helping to raise these much needed funds.

The funds received will go towards our Child Protection Programme. Through this programme, we are able to assist children at our centres which are based in Cape Town, Athlone, Wynberg, Bishop Lavis, Khayelitsha, Guguletu, Mitchell’s Plain and Kleinvlei, Eerste River. Our services are also extended to the immediate surrounding geographic areas such as Manenberg, Muizenberg etc. Our activities at the centres include: child abuse awareness presentations and discussions; educational talks and workshops; promoting detection and disclosure; group or individual counselling (long-term, in-depth, one-on-one therapeutic intervention – verbal therapy); telephone counselling; non-verbal therapy (drama and play therapy using specialised toys); support (including court preparation where we prepare children psychologically to be effective witnesses in their own court cases and empower them to testify against their perpetrator(s)); trauma debriefing; networking; referrals; supervision; and staff training and development (capacity building).

Our Golf Day next year will be held on the 16th of October 2008 and we are looking forward to another successful and fun-filled event!
