Total Energies is hosting a Pink Golf Day charity tournament at Mthatha Golf Club on Women’s Day, August 9, with the aim of raising funds and creating awareness around women’s issues.
The target is to raise a minimum of R25 000, which will be used to provide sanitary pads for underprivileged girls in schools in and around Mthatha, according to tournament organiser and Total Energies Mthatha manager, Reece Channing.
“We have invited a lot of customers and prospective clients to come out for the day under the theme ‘Pink Golf’, to raise awareness of women’s issues, while also having some fun and networking,” said Channing. “The Pink Golf charity tournament is the first of what will hopefully be an annual event and the aim is that every year we identify a need that women might have, like supporting local non-governmental organisation that is doing good work with abused women and children, and other initiatives.”
Apart from the golf course action, the day will also include a gala dinner (steak night) and after party with musical performances to close the day.
“The first tee-off on the day is at 10:00. We have lunch at 13:00, which will then be followed by another nine holes and after that there will be prize-giving, a steak night dinner and an after party,” Channing said.
The steak night dinner also forms part of the fund-raising for the day and 150 steaks will be sold for R100 each and all proceeds will go towards the fund-raising initiative.
The dinner will then be followed by an after-party with musical performances and an on site bar that will open until 23:00.
The lineup for the Pink Golf Day is already full but the public is allowed to come and watch proceedings on the day free of charge.
