Fundraising co-ordinator Jane Armstrong thanked all the players, sponsors and those who played a role in ensuring the event was a success.
“We had a super turn out, even with South Africa playing rugby that day. The Orphan Fund raised close to R7000 from raffle sales, Mulligan sales brought in R3000, and the chipping game run by EasySkips and the JehCon Group Building Contractors on the 8th hole generated R1800.
