WINDHOEK – The Bank Windhoek Golf Day in Aid of Welfare raised N$130 000 for various charity organisations, N$10 000 more than last year. The funds will be distributed among various charity organizations.
The money was raised through the entry fees paid by the participating teams and the auctioning of several items signed by sports legends, together with other fund-raising activities. The competition was held at the Windhoek Country Club Resort and Casino last Friday, and attracted a total of 33 teams competing in a 10-hole golf course. The event was graced with the presence of selected sports legends and personalities, including Marnus Kruger, Gerrie Scheepers and Hendre de Vries, who formed the lose trio that entertained the golfers during the prize-giving ceremony. Johan Heunis, a legendary Springbok fullback, was also present at the event. Welwitschia Insurance Brokers were crowned the champions of the Bank Windhoek Golf Day in Aid of Welfare, followed by Nampower in second place and Executive Excellence in third place.
“Bank Windhoek was pleased with the outcome and participation in the Bank Windhoek Golf Day in Aid of Welfare. Bank Windhoek is especially grateful to the sports legends who came from South Africa, as well as all the team members, most of whom hold high positions in local industries, for availing themselves from their busy schedule to play golf in aid of welfare,” said Riaan van Rooyen of Bank Windhoek.
