Stepping Stone Hospice has expressed gratitude to iCare Optometrists and the many golfers who turned out to support its recent charity golf day at Reading Country Club.

The well-attended event generated R103 000, providing a significant boost to the hospice’s ongoing efforts to enhance patient care.

According to Stepping Stone Hospice, the funds raised will be ring-fenced for its building project, an initiative aimed at expanding capacity and improving facilities to serve more patients in need of specialised, compassionate care.

The organisation said the contribution not only reflects the generosity of the community but also highlights the strong partnerships that make its work possible.

The expansion project remains a crucial step in meeting the growing demand for hospice services, and this latest donation marks a meaningful stride towards that goal.

Stepping Stone Hospice thanked iCare Optometrists and every participant who helped make the day a resounding success, noting that community-driven events continue to play a vital role in sustaining its mission.
