A new charity golf day is bringing Canberra’s golfing community together for a cause close to home.
On Thursday 17 December, local brothers Joey and Matt are bringing the community together at Federal Golf Club for A Drive to Remember Classic, an inaugural charity golf day raising funds for dementia research at The Florey Institute.
A Cause Close To Home
The idea came from the brothers’ own experience after their mum, Tracey, was diagnosed with early-onset dementia.
Wanting to turn that experience into something positive, the family created a golf day bringing together friends, local businesses and golfers while raising money for dementia research.
The day starts with registration and a welcome barbecue at 11am before a four-person Ambrose tees off at noon. There’ll be longest drive, nearest-to-the-pin and hole-in-one challenges throughout the round, followed by drinks, presentations, a guest keynote on dementia research and a live raffle back at the clubhouse.
Get Involved On Or Off The Course
You don’t need a full team ready to get involved. Individual player tickets are $150, with organisers matching solo players into a group, while teams of four can register for $600.
The team behind the event is also calling on the wider Canberra community to get behind the day. Local businesses can contribute through hole sponsorships, raffle prizes, auction items or other forms of event sponsorship.
Whether you’re teeing off on the course or donating a prize, every contribution helps raise funds for ongoing dementia research.
