Golf day at Emerald Downs to raise funds for Hastings Cancer Trust

EMERALD Downs Golf Course will host the Hastings Cancer Trust Charity Golf Day on Sunday 21 September, to raise vital funds for local cancer projects.

Organised by the Roods family, the annual Nine Hole Ambrose event has become a major fundraiser for the Friends of the Hastings Cancer Trust (HCT).

Hastings Cancer Trust Administration Coordinator Sue Ryan said, “The event generated over $14,000 last year, with organisers aiming to surpass this achievement in the current year.”

Entry is $45 per person for teams of four, with lunch included.

“All proceeds are distributed via the HCT grants program to support cancer-related projects in the Hastings, Camden Haven and Macleay regions,” Ms Ryan said.

Grant applications are open from 4 August to 3 October.

Golfers can compete for prizes including nearest to the pin, longest drive and team awards, with lunch, raffles and presentations to follow.

Registrations for the charity golf day close Wednesday, 17 September.

Contact Lynne on 0467 948 539 or Ronda on 0429 977 705.
