The annual Woodlands Dairy Golf Day teed off to tremendous success, raising R563 000 in support of St Francis Hospice.
Held at the picturesque St Francis Links, the event drew enthusiastic golfers from across the country for two days of competition, connection, and charitable giving.
Mandla Charlie of Woodlands Dairy and First Choice said the event was so much more than just a golf day.
“It’s a celebration of purpose and community, where fundraising meets fun, networking, and generosity. We’re immensely grateful to every sponsor, player, and staff member who helped make this event possible,” said Charlie.
All funds raised will go directly to St Francis Hospice, a non-profit organisation that provides compassionate, dignified palliative care to individuals and their families facing life-limiting illnesses.
“We’re proud to stand behind such a vital cause and to continue making a meaningful impact in the lives of those who need it most,” said Charlie.
Sister Ingrid Williams, Manager of St Francis Hospice Kouga, said she is very grateful for the support they receive from Woodlands Dairy.
“Because of their generous and faithful annual golf days for Hospice, we are able to continue giving compassionate and professional care to those in the Kouga area suffering from life-limiting diseases,” said Williams.
She further said that the majority of their patients rely heavily on the medical care, psychological and spiritual support and advice Hospice gives.
Williams said that their service is available 24/7 to whoever needs it, regardless of race, creed or financial status.
“Thank you all at Woodlands for organising such a wonderful event,” said Williams.
