The first ‘Swing for a Dream’ fund raising golf day,
at Pongola Golf Club, on the 3rd August,
proved to be an enormous success. Without the sponsors this day could not have evolved into this wonderful tribute to the Pongola community, and beyond, demonstrating their willingness to embrace a good cause.
This year’s fund raiser is to enable young Andile Dumisa to fulfil her dream to participate in the
2014 South African and
World Championships of Performing Arts.
Andile performed exceptionally well in the 2013 SA Championships of Performing Arts, and was awarded a place in the SA Team. Due to financial constraints she was unable to participate in Los Angeles in 2013. With the backing of the Pongola community (and hopefully beyond) Andile will shine in 2014.
The ‘Swing for a Dream’ fundraiser was a fun day with a 4 Ball American Scramble. Both golfers and non-golfers participated.
The Club raised R21 871.70
from donations, golfing fees, stall fees and the auction.
The overall winners were: Berno Meyer, Piet and Anita Dreyer, and Diana Terblanche.
R100 raffle tickets are on sale until Saturday, 14th December when the winners will be announced at the Golf Club’s year-end function. The prizes include:
1st prize A 2 night cruise for 2 people on the Shayamanzi houseboat
2nd prize 1 night accommodation at White Elephant Safari for 2 people
3rd prize 1 night accommodation at Pakamisa Private Game Reserve for 2 people (sponsored by TSB)
On auction will be a night for 2 people at Shayamoya.
Please contact Sanet (082 610 8014) or Lois Kuhle (082 819 1346) if you would like to purchase a ticket.
The funds raised from this Golf Day will be administered by the Milimani Educational Trust to assist Andile Dumisa in pursuing her singing career under the guidance of Elbie Roux.
The Golf Club plans to organise similar annual events to support a worthwhile community project.
In the words of Winston Churchill:
“We make a living by what we get and a life by what we give”
