The Whitsunday Lions Club have once again shown their commitment to the community, raising more than $12,000 at their annual fourth Charity Golf Day, hosted by Whitsunday Green. The funds have been donated to the Proserpine Hospital and the Whitsunday Suicide Prevention Network (WSPN).
The Proserpine Hospital announced that with the donation they will be purchasing a Patient Transfer Scale, a large board for transporting patients with an integrated weighing scale and a size chart. They also confirmed they will be purchasing a ‘Tweegy’ wheelchair, designed to have better manoeuvrability, a better braking system, a stackable design and more.
Golf Committee Chairman Alan Gravelle said the Whitsunday Lions Club has supported the Proserpine Hospital in the past and consistently help them out. He also added that the Golf Day is always a highlight for the club. “The Golf Day is always a great day and I am looking forward to more Charity Golf Days in the future,” he said.
Assistant Golf Manager at Whitsunday Green John Miller said it was his first time acting as Assistant Manager for the Charity Golf Day, but everything went smoothly.
“Over 180 players participated, it was a great success and hopefully next year we'll have a bigger course,” he said.
With record participation, strong community backing, and meaningful donations directed to vital services, the annual Charity Golf Day has once again proven to be more than just a sporting event. It is a tradition that brings people together, supports essential healthcare, and strengthens wellbeing across the Whitsundays.
