Bishops PA Charity Golf Day Scores a Hole in One for VUSA

The Bishops PA Charity Golf Day, proudly sponsored by Coronation, was a smashing success this year, with Clovelly Country Club providing a picturesque backdrop for the event and Cape Town showing off with sunny skies and perfect greens, participants enjoyed a beautiful day of golf whilst contributing to a worthy cause.

This event would not have been possible without the generous support of our sponsors and prize donors. Their contributions ensured a memorable day for all attendees and helped us achieve our fundraising goals.

We are pleased to announce that a R150,000 was raised for VUSA (and other selected charities). These funds will support VUSA's vital programs, which provide a safe space, sport, educational support, and development opportunities for children in the Langa community. It was wonderful to see so many Old Diocesans (ODs) on the course, supporting this event and contributing to its success.

A special congratulations to our winning team: Sven Koenig, Mike Flax, Willem Louw, and Ian Matheson, who took first place, winning the R10,000 prize donated by Consulmet and wine from the beautiful Cavalli Estate.

Thank you to everyone who supported the event, from players to sponsors and volunteers. Your participation and generosity have made a significant impact, and we look forward to seeing you at next year's event. Together, we are driving change and making a difference in our community.
