Door of Hope recently held its annual golf day at Glenvista Country Club, with supporters, sponsors and members of the community coming together in support of vulnerable children in their care.

The day was filled with friendly competition, generosity, and community spirit as golfers enjoyed a round on the course while raising awareness and supporting the 66 children currently in Door of Hope’s care.

Through the generosity of participants and sponsors, the event raised an impressive R79 000 for the organisation.

The evening prize-giving ceremony was hosted by well-known South African personality Brent Lindeque, who served as master of ceremonies. His energy and enthusiasm added to the celebratory atmosphere as players, sponsors and supporters gathered to reflect on a successful day.

A highlight of the event was the outstanding support from local businesses and donors, whose contributions enabled Door of Hope to offer participants a wide range of prizes and gifts.

The organisation expressed its sincere gratitude to The Glen Shopping Centre, Doppio Zero, Tashas, Blu Bamboo, Turn ‘n Tender, The Pro Shop, The Italian Cheese Shop, Bene Water, Gelmar, Pick n Pay Newmarket, CR Brands and Mark Rossouw from Beyond Legacy for their generous donations.

Door of Hope also received two holiday prizes donated by Basil Carter. Hole sponsorships from Buckman Africa, Centriq, and Salvadore Caetano played an important role in the day’s success, while additional prizes were donated by Standard Bank and GAP Talent.

Donor engagement manager at Door of Hope, Kathy Groome, said: “We rely heavily on the generosity of donors and supporters to keep our doors open and to provide care, love and security for the children entrusted to us.

“Events such as our Golf Day not only help raise much-needed funds but also give us the opportunity to celebrate and connect with the people who make our work possible. Raising R79 000 is a wonderful achievement, and we are deeply grateful to everyone who contributed to making the day such a success,” shared Groome.

Special thanks were extended to Glenvista Country Club for its professionalism, hospitality and valuable assistance in ensuring the event ran smoothly from start to finish.

Every sponsorship, donation and entry contributed towards creating hope and opportunities for children who need them most.

“By supporting Door of Hope, donors and partners are investing in more than an event – they are investing in hope, opportunity and a brighter future for every child in the organisation’s care,” added Groome.
