Arohanui Hospice held their annual Golf Tournament last Thursday 26 May for the 13th time, 12th in memory of Michael Higgins.
The event was a huge success raising just over $100,000, a new event record and the team are ecstatic with the result.
Arohanui Hospice Chief Executive Clare Randall explains, “We are thrilled with the result from this flagship event. After a period of time where it has been exceptionally difficult to fundraise and hold events, we are delighted to have set a new event record.”
Each year the hospice provides care and support to over 1100 patients across our region. Funds raised from events such as this help to ensure that this care remains free of charge.
The event which was originally scheduled to run in March was postponed due to Covid-19 restrictions.
Thirty-five teams participated in the event including a mixture of female, male and mixed teams played in two divisions.
The event is well supported and sells out year on year, with a waitlist for new participants.
