BrainTree Golfing with the Stars 2020

Our ‘Golfing with the Stars’ fundraiser on the 9th October went down a treat!

Our ‘Golfing with the Stars’ tournament on the 9th of October went down an absolute treat!

Masterminded by our logistics expert turned fundraiser, Brendan Prendergast, this was a golf tournament with a difference.  Each four drew a celebrity golfer who joined them for the day, and boy were there some big hitters, literally. 🏌️

Spirits were high, there were no underarms here.  There may have been a few balls left underwater, and one or two players who were under the weather by the end of the evening but it was all good fun, and we were delighted how everyone rallied behind the cause.

The universal feedback was "we'll be back next year", which is awesome 'cos it hadn't dawned on us that we would press replay. Huge thanks must go to our stars, who contributed so much to the day, to all 25 teams who entered, to the sponsors, to the volunteers, to the team at Clearwater.  You were all stars! ⭐

It was an incredible evening. We were overwhelmed by the generosity of the guests present, and their willingness to support the cause. There was an incredible energy in the room.

We have raised $4 million so far, or 80% of the funds needed and are now seeking public donations for the final $1 million to make the BrainTree Wellness Centre a reality.
