Lions Club of Wilro Park host a golf day for charity
As September is Childhood Cancer Awareness month a golf bag was raffled and all the proceeds were handed over to the Childhood Cancer Foundation South Africa (CHOC).
The Lions Club of Wilro Park held its Annual Lions Charity Golf Day on Thursday 5 September at the Krugersdorp Golf Club.
The day was a success and the weather, the golf course and the spirit in which the golf was played were perfect, resulting on a day that was enjoyed by all.
Much-needed funds were raised for the community service projects in which the Lions Club of Wilro Park is involved.
The projects concern vision, hunger, diabetes and environment, and one which is currently being planned is a Sensory Garden for children with Autism.
