The Tuesday Club at Noosa Golf Club recently gathered 222 golfers for their inaugural charity day, raising more than $7000 for the Noosa Prostate Association.
The two-person Ambrose event collected much needed funds for the association led by secretary and treasurer Richard Bennet.
Event organiser Derek Connolly said, “We would like to thank our sponsors who kindly donated some terrific prizes.”
“Hotel Laguna, Munna Beach Resort, The Rise Noosa, GTs Bar and Restaurant, The NHSC Restaurant, Pandanus Palms Apartments North Stradbroke Island, Bridgestone Select, Noosa Heads Brewery, Harbourside Hats, DC Limousines, Treasury Wines, Sharp Sunshine Coast, Pomona IGA, Resort News and Noosa Springs Spa and Golf Resort.
“Without these organisations this day would not be possible.”
Noosa Prostate Association (NPA) is a local organisation formed in late 2017, which concentrates on increasing awareness of, and fundraising for prostate cancer.
“Our funds go to the Prostate Cancer Foundation of Australia (PCFA), the peak body in Australia for Prostate Cancer,” Richard said.
“PCFA focus on increasing awareness of prostate cancer and the need for PSA testing, offering support to sufferers of prostate cancer, and their families, and funding of research into finding a solution for this insidious disease.”
To date the NPA has raised $480,000 and hope to reach $750,000 with the help of this year’s lunch event in August.
Whilst all 300 tickets for the event at the surf club has sold, the committee recognise that the only way to reach its goal is to attract donations for the cause.
Donations are being sought from the community. To donate visit the website at Noosapa.com
