The 2009 event
The 2009 South Africa Charity Golf Day took place on 4th September at the Foxhills Club and Resort in Ottershaw, Surrey where 320 golfers raised funds for five deserving South African charities.
The Children's Charities in South Africa who benefit from the day are The Nelson Mandela Children's Fund, The FW de Klerk foundation, Starfish, and Ma Africa Tikkun. These charities are there to help children whose lives have been affected by AIDS through education and other projects and initiatives.
Miller Brands were represented on this prestigious event through volunteers ensuring golfers are provided by premium refreshments and also contributed by a raffle prize.
The Patron of the golf day, former President of South Africa and the joint winner with Nelson Mandela of the Nobel Peace Prize, FW de Klerk played in the main event.
Jonathan Bennett, Corporate Affairs Manager at Miller Brands said, “This is our third year as sponsor of the South African Charity Golf Day and we are delighted to help support such a prestigious event and one that is raising money for extremely worthy causes".
