First Annual Harambee Charity Golf Classic raises nearly $21,000

The first annual Harambee Charity Golf Classic, held on 16 July, 2009 at Musqueam Golf and Learning Academy, was a stunning success.

We were very fortunate to have the endorsement and participation of two CPGA members, Ginny Golding and April Stubbs, who volunteered their time and efforts to create such a great event for such an important cause.

Ninety-six golfers participated in this event and as well as having a great golf game the golfers were entertained with a silent auction, yoga, tournament prizes, rhythmic drums, and a delicious dinner.

Pictures of golfers teeing off here, as well as one picture of a foursome in African garb. Nearly $ 21,000 was raised for CHES at this event. The money will be used for textbooks, mosquito netting for sleeping quarters and additional support for the programme in Kenya.

Plans are well underway for the second annual Harambee Charity Golf Classic, which will be held in the summer of 2010.
