This year we raised...

$17,000

For the Child Cancer Foundation & The Himalayan trust

Another great event

What a day Monday 23 February turned out to be! More than 60 golfers pitted their skills against the Hutt Golf Club's challenging layout, before heading back to the clubhouse for a well-earned drink and a chance to peruse the 50-odd auction items up for grabs. Teams from local businesses such as Weta, Colliers, SOLmedia, Peoples Coffee, Jones Law, National Bank, Provoke and South Canterbury Finance lined up alongside host teams Francis Consulting and Megabyte for an ambrose-format round.

Winners of the golf were:

1st - Colliers

2nd - Prestige Ceilings

3rd - South Canterbury Finance.

Kay Okeroa won the putt-off competition (being just one of 3 golfers who landed within 3m of the flag on 18) and Lance Dry had the longest drive. Team results.

The real winners of course were the two charities for whom all of this was undertaken - the Child Cancer Foundation and The Himalayan Trust. Funds raised for distribution total approximately $17,000 - a great result given the difficult times many are experiencing and only a wee bit shy of last year's $22,000.

We greatly appreciate the support and participation of those sponsors and benefactors who make this event possible - the generosity again of Wellington and Hutt businesses and individuals is quite humbling.
