MORE than 80 golfers from 12 clubs converged on Peregian Springs Golf Club last week, to help raise much needed funds for the Cindy MacKenzie Breast Cancer Foundation.
The Sunshine Coast-based charity was founded in 2007 in honour of local Cindy MacKenzie who wanted to help other women as they battled breast cancer.
An impressive morning tea of cakes and slices presented on tables decorated in pink, greeted players upon arrival. After a very social team golf event, the ladies enjoyed a luncheon in the clubhouse dining room, also decorated in pink.
The ladies heard an emotional presentation from Cindy MacKenzie ambassador Katrina Thorpe, who also represented Ikatan Spa, one of the event’s sponsors.
Captain Janet Young said the annual event keeps growing.
“The girls love their golf but playing to support a very worthy local cause adds another dimension that unites us all. We are already planning the 2015 event with enthusiasm,” she said.
