On December 6th, Allambi Care hosted its 2024 Golf Day at Newcastle Golf Club. The event brought together supporting businesses, stakeholders, professional connections, and long-term supporters for a day of fun, connection, and fundraising - all for an incredible cause.
The day began with an early start and breakfast at the clubhouse before teams teed off for 18 rounds of golf. Highlights included three challenge holes, with one including the chance of having to take a shot with a cricket bat (sorry, Tim Reed!). After the spirited competition, participants enjoyed a great lunch, an inspiring presentation from our Outreach Team and the award ceremony.
The Golf Day raised over $12,000 through auctions, raffles, and other fundraising activities. These funds will support youth homelessness initiatives and Allambi’s Tiny Homes Project, which aims to provide sustainable and accessible housing for at-risk youth in the Lake Macquarie area.
We want to extend a special thank you to the businesses who joined us on the day:
Sharp Office, Wallace Design Group Pty Ltd, Milleen Constructions, Bentleys, NCIA, Newcastle Building, KNC Air and Electrical, SB Glass & Glazing, Hunter Podiatry, Essential Mining Solutions, Knight Frank, and Ausure Insurance.
We’re also incredibly grateful to the businesses and individuals who generously donated prizes for fundraising:
Newcastle Knights, Civic Theatre, Moonshadow Cruises Nelson Bay, Good Folk Brewery, Honeysuckle Hotel, Newcastle Golf Club, Sprocket Roasters, Dawson's Oysters, and Axis Doors and Panels.
Finally, a huge thank you to all the Allambi staff who volunteered or participated. The day was not only a tremendous success in raising awareness and funds but also in strengthening connections within our community.
Already looking forward to next year!
