THE Noosa District State High School Support Program received a donation of $20,000 from the Sunshine Coast Nomads Golf Club, which was raised by 82 social golf club players.
The golfers will be donating the money to the NDSHS Support Program to help fund a mini-bus for students with disabilities.
The money raised is an increase of over $6000 from last year’s fundraiser and was mainly funded by a charity golf day held at Twin Waters Golf Course on August 26.
The rest of the money raised came from a raffle the club held throughout the year as well as donations from local businesses and club members themselves.
NDSHS School Principal Chris Roff was elated with the amount raised by the Nomads Golf Club.
“The school was hoping for $15,000 and were overwhelmed when we were told that the amount totalled to $20,000,” Mr Roff said.
Nomads Golf Club is an international group, with 360 members in Australia, who all enjoy a game of golf, while raising money for charity.
The Nomads on the Sunshine Coast have 82 members who play once a month at different venues across the coast.
Branch fundraiser and vice-captain, Warren Daniel, said he was thrilled with the turn-out this year to the charity day and was humbled by the donations received from businesses on the coast.
