The BNI Millennium Chapter together with the South African New Zealand Charitable Trust held a SANZ BNI Golf Day at Warkworth Golf Course on May 2, and indications are that the day will exceed last year’s donation of more than $8,000.
Member of the organising committee, George Deeb, said a full field of 100 golfers turned out to raise funds for North Shore Hospice and the Warkworth Wellsford Hospice.
“The day featured a clinic from professional golfer Paul Holmes and an auction by Derrick Baldwin of Asset International Limited.”
Principal sponsor was Propella Software Limited (Business Management Software), joined by sponsors George Deeb (Barrister, Solicitor and Notary Public), Greg Frittelli (Insurance and Lending Group), Don Sykes (It outsourcing provider Asparona), Butch Mawdsley (RES Business Development Limited), Cedric Braby (Crown Relocations), Mike Hackner (Mike Hackner Architects) and Kit Lill (Bayvet veterinary clinic).
Among items auctioned as part of the fundraising initiative were three line trimmers, a golf cart, weekend holidays at a bach in Sandy Bay and Paihia, cases of wine, a year’s membership to the Millennium Institute of Sport and Health and year’s subscription to the New Zealand Herald.
Clive Scotten won golfer of the day and took home the floating trophy and prizes. CEO of Hospice North Shore Mike Franklin attended the event.
“The course was excellent and we were made to feel very welcome. I would like to extend a big thank you to all those who contributed,” said George.
