The Lions Club of Whitsunday’s fourth annual Charity Golf Day teed off on Sunday at Whitsunday Green, raising more than $10,000 for local causes.
Proserpine Hospital will once again be the major beneficiary, with additional recipients to be confirmed at later dates.
Golf Committee Chairman Alan Gravelle said the day was a huge success, thanks to generous community support. “It's a long day, but at the end of the day, when you see everyone happy and all the support and positive comments it sort of makes it all worthwhile."
The event was strongly backed by local businesses and regular sponsors, with many returning year after year. Although Amanda Camm MP remained a key supporter of the event.
The Lions Club also runs the weekly Airlie Beach foreshore markets and cruise ship markets, helping raise over $100,000 annually for community and national projects.
Full results from the day to be included in next weeks paper.
