What a fantastic day in Urenui on Saturday for the “Urenui Golf Club – Hospice Charity Golf Fundraiser”. Fifteen teams packed the course, full of good humour, great golf, and even better camaraderie.
There were some very earnest attempts at nearest the pin — right up until a very young fella stepped up, “tapped” the pin, and showed his dad (and everyone else) how it’s really done. Moments like that are what make community events so special.
One thing we always appreciate is how genuinely the sponsors are acknowledged at this event, along with the gentle reminder to support the businesses and people who support our community.
And of course, a heartfelt thank you to Eddie Hollard, whose superpower is raising much-needed funds for Hospice. We are incredibly grateful that he continues to direct that superpower our way. This event raised $10,000, and Eddie has also secured seeds and fertiliser for another fundraiser he’s preparing for us — an extraordinary effort.
To the Urenui community, the Urenui Golf Club, Eddie’s family, and the whole team who stood behind this event in so many ways — thank you.
The funds raised on Saturday will make a real difference. Because you chose to give, we can provide 24/7 nursing and medical care, support whānau, loan equipment, and care for patients in their own homes. Today, we are caring for 254 patients.
Hospice care happens because of you.
