Cape Town - A community centre in an economically challenged area will build a new roof and solar heating system; a quadriplegic man will finally get a wheelchair and a home for distressed animals will receive a lifeline after 1000 golfers raised R647 500 for community projects in Cape Town.

All this and more has been made possible through the generous participants in the annual Cadiz Steenberg Classic golf tournament earlier this month.

A total of R647 500 was raised during the week-long event and has been distributed to the following beneficiaries:

SA Golfers to Raise Funds for Communities

Around 1 000 Cape golfers are aiming to raise over R600 000 for charity in November in the week-long Cadiz Steenberg Classic, one of the biggest fund-raising golf tournaments in South Africa.

The event, sponsored by financial services group Cadiz, runs from 28 October to 3 November and will be hosted at Cape Town's Steenberg Golf Estate - voted the number one golf resort in SA and number two in the world by Conde Naste.

The Cadiz Steenberg Classic raises funds for community upliftment organisations located near the golf course. Last year, it raised a record R625 000. The aim is to top that figure in 2012 and boost the total funds raised over the last 12 years to over R3.2-million.
