2023 CHARITY DAY – SUPPORTING MUMKIND

A big thank you to all our generous players, donors and Vicki Thwaites and her band of volunteers for their fantastic work on the Women’s Charity Day raising funds for MumKind. The day raised approximately $4600 for the charity.

The event had 85 players take part with Emma Evans winning the Sue Butterworth Trophy for the best score of the day with 40 Stableford points.

TUESDAY 19TH SEPTEMBER 2023

This year’s Charity Day will be held on Tuesday 19th September in support of MumKIND. Established in 2014, MumKIND materially supports women, girls and children across South Australia facing adversity. In addition, they collaborate with other groups and charities to deliver special projects, particularly on special occasions such as Christmas and Mother’s Day. Visit the MumKIND website for more information.

On Charity Day, players compete for the Sue Butterworth Trophy. Sue Butterworth joined RAGC in 1967. She served on committee in 1978/79, handicap manager in 1985/86 and a Vice President in 2004/5. After her death in 2010 her family donated a trophy to be presented at the Annual Meeting to the winner of a ‘Charity Day’ established in her honour. The name of the runner up is also recorded on the trophy. Because Sue generously donated to charity, the Committee of the day decided to establish the Charity Day in her honour.

The competition fee of $25 and all raffle profits will be donated in full to MumKIND. Tickets for the raffle (1 for $5 or 3 for $10) will be available from the raffle stand in the breezeway from 7.30am on the day. No cash is required as all donations will be charged to member accounts. If you cannot attend, raffle tickets may be purchased by calling Larissa in the office on 8356 5511.

The event’s working party has secured a wonderful selection of prizes for the raffle including:
