Khaya Cheshire Charity Golf Day Raises R160,000 for Rebuilding Efforts
The recent Khaya Cheshire Charity Golf Day held on June 23 was a resounding success, thanks to the incredible support of generous individuals who came forward to participate. Organized by the dedicated TAG Team, this event raised an impressive amount of over R150,000 to contribute towards the rebuilding of Khaya Cheshire. The center, which provides care and development services for children facing physical and mental challenges, unfortunately, lost its home in Walmer Township during the 2020 lockdown. Over the years, Tavcor Motor Group, a long-standing supporter, has played a vital role in assisting the center, and Megan Stow, HR Director, and TAG Team leader, holds a deep affection for Khaya Cheshire.

With the collective efforts and contributions of various businesses in the Metropolitan area, the recent golf day proved to be a significant milestone in the fundraising campaign. The event witnessed the participation of 120 players, and thanks to the support of 16 tee box sponsors, the objective of raising R150,000 was surpassed, with a grand total of R160,000 collected through golf, raffles, and auctions. The positive energy and enthusiasm displayed by all the players made the day truly memorable. Furthermore, the event owes its success to the invaluable assistance of Stefan Ferreira, who played a pivotal role in organizing the golf day.
