The event is set to raise much-needed funds for the Tomaree Community Hospital Auxiliary and the PSFM community radio station and promises to be a fun-filled day of golf, networking, prizes, and giving back to the community.

The golf day will begin with registration and a coffee at 8:00am, followed by a shotgun start at 9:00am.

Participants will compete in teams of four Ambrose style, with brunch and a range of prizes on offer at a silent auction back at the clubhouse.

“We are thrilled to be hosting our first-ever charity golf day,” said Andrew Bowden, Marketing Manager with PSFM.

“We hope to raise as much money as possible to support the important work of the Community Hospital, and to have some fun while doing it.

We’re grateful to BPS and the Nelson Bay Golf Club for co-hosting the event and to our supporters who have helped make it possible.”

Business Port Stephens President Clive Jones said, “We are delighted to support PSFM in their efforts to raise funds for the Hospital and the station.

“This event not only provides an opportunity for our business community to come together for a fun day of golf, but it also allows us to make a meaningful difference in the lives of those who benefit from the Hospital.

“We encourage all of our members to participate and support this important cause.”

PSFM are seeking donations of prizes for the silent auction, so if you or your business would like to donate a prize for our silent auction, please contact the station on 4984 6666.

“We will be happy to arrange collection of your donation, and to acknowledge your generosity on the day,” said Andrew.

Heavenly Tours, a member of BPS, have generously offered the services of a bus and driver to pick up and drop off those who do not wish to drive, including a trailer to transport the clubs.

Tickets are $65 per person and are available now via BusinessPortStephens.com under the Events tab.

Participants are encouraged to invite their colleagues, clients, suppliers, friends, family to join them for a fun day of golf for a good cause.

Deborah Schofield of the Tomaree Community Hospital Auxiliary told News Of The Area, “At the top of our wish list to provide to the hospital is a bariatric bed for the Palliative Care Suite which we will need $12,000 to purchase, however we know that the bed will make our patients in the Palliative Care Unit more comfortable.”
