Midrand SPCA tees up for annual Charity Golf Day at Kyalami

Golfers, businesses, and animal lovers are being called to action as the Midrand SPCA hosts its biggest fundraising event of the year at Kyalami Country Club.

The Midrand Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (SPCA) will once again host its much-loved annual Charity Golf Day on November 12, at the prestigious Kyalami Country Club.

Now a staple on the local fundraising calendar, the event brings together businesses, animal lovers, and community members in support of the SPCA’s mission to rescue, rehabilitate, and rehome vulnerable animals.

Brenda Lucas, the chairperson of the Midrand SPCA, said the fundraiser plays a critical role in sustaining the organisation.

“We receive no government funding, so everything we do relies on the generosity of donors, sponsors, and events like this,” Lucas explained. “The funds raised go directly towards veterinary care, food, shelter maintenance, and emergency rescues.”

Beyond raising money, Lucas said the event fosters awareness around responsible pet ownership and strengthens the community’s network of animal advocates.

This year, organisers are aiming to make the Golf Day the biggest and most impactful yet. The day will include not only 18 holes of golf but also new networking opportunities, enhanced branding exposure for sponsors, and additional fundraising activities.

“We are proud to partner with Kyalami Country Club as our official venue, and to have the support of local businesses and residents who share our passion for animal welfare,” Lucas added.

Sponsors and partners contribute in various ways, from sponsoring holes and prizes to donating services, ensuring the day is both memorable and meaningful.

“Every swing, every sponsorship, and every act of generosity on the day helps us continue our mission: Giving animals a second chance at life,” said Lucas.

The SPCA is calling on the Midrand community, businesses, and animal lovers to take part in the November event. “Together, we can save lives and give a voice to those who cannot speak for themselves,” Lucas concluded.
