Hobsons Bay Community Fund (HBCF) is holding its ninth annual charity golf day to raise funds to benefit the Hobsons Bay community.
HBCF chair Adrian Butera said funds raised from the event would directly benefit local community groups in Hobsons Bay.
“We’re thrilled to have one of the municipality’s top citizens speaking at our charity golf day,” he said.
“It is a real opportunity for local community leaders, recipients, friends and businesses to come together over the common interest of golf.”
Mr Butera said the day is a chance for HBCF to tell the community what the fund does while creating the opportunity to raise money, and of course play golf.
“They play 18 rounds of golf, with various awards given out on the day,” he said.
“It is fun and there is a lot of fellowship. It is really powerful for the opportunity to get to know each other over golf.”
Mr Butera said at the end of the day dinner is served and everyone is invited back next year.
“It’s a fun day out, with an important focus on looking after our health, and it’s for a great cause,” he said.
“Since we started in 2006, our philanthropic fund has grown our corpus to $1 million.
“Each year, we provide grants of around five per cent to grassroots groups and organisations.
“The fund has contributed over $500,000 to nearly 200 grassroots groups and clubs supporting the community of Hobsons Bay.”
The charity golf day will be held on Wednesday, March 20, at Kooringal Golf Club in Altona.
The event allows players of all abilities to participate in teams of four, registrations are open for single players or teams.
