FFETA Golf Day 2023
Friday 12th May saw
the second FFETA Charity golf day. Last
year, FFETA raised R100 000 for Children of Fire and this year, they have
adopted two charities, Care for Wild and the Avela Foundation. Care for
Wild sent a very impactful video on the work they are doing with regard to
rhino conservation and Tebogo Tsotetsi who is the programme manager for UMatter
one of the partners of the Avela Foundation was present for the evening dinner
and gave a most inciteful look into the workings of the UMatter programme
focusing on burn survivors. We are
happy to say that both charities will benefit to the tune of R50 000 each.
We were lucky to have perfect
weather for this event and as is evidenced by the photographs (view them in the slideshow here), everyone had a
wonderful time, even if the golf wasn’t up to par (excuse the pun), the
entertainment was great.
For this we have to say thank you
to all the four-balls as well as all the sponsors. Special thanks
to the sponsors who went above and beyond, such as the following:
- AccuSherq who did not participate but for the second
year running, sponsored the beautiful trophies.
Congratulations go to the TMA
Express Team led by Carl Hogg, for
winning overall and to Nichola Allan of G2 Fire for winning the main raffle
prize of the TV.
And of course, it goes without saying that we have to say the most enormous thank you to Reggie Marimuthu for his organisation of this event. Without his dedication and perseverance, the day would not have happened.
