BOQ Mackay City owners Melissa Green, Rebecca Galea and Melissa Egan are well known in charitable circles for their generosity, but sadly, their signature event, the BOQ Charity Golf Day has been in hiatus since 2018 due to COVID restrictions.
After a two-year break, the 2022 BOQ Mackay City Charity Golf Day was that much more special when it took place on 10th June with proceeds directed at two very worthy local charities – Mackay Hospital Foundation and Mackay Community Foundation.
35 teams took part in the 4-ball Ambrose competition and like any golf game, there were winners and losers on the day but the biggest winners were the two benefiting charities.
Through sponsorship, registrations, raffles and auction items, the event raised an incredible amount of $20,833.86 which was distributed evenly among the two charities.
Event organiser Rebecca Galea said, “We couldn’t be happier with the outcome. This year’s event is our most successful yet, but it would not have been possible without the players and ample corporate support which contributed to the end result.”
Mackay Hospital Foundation Chairman Peter Tait commented, “The team at BOQ Mackay City have excelled with this event.
“They should be very proud of having organised such a successful event. The funds donated to Mackay Hospital Foundation from this event will be utilised to purchase medical equipment in our quest to improve health outcomes in our local hospitals.”
