“We at CANSA Lowveld cannot do any of this without the community. A big thank you to all the companies that took the sponsorships and all the four-ball entries that made this day a success,” said Rinella Jansen van Vuuren, CANSA Lowveld’s sustainability co-ordinator. “After a full day of playing, we gave out a lot of gifts at the prize-giving. Dewald Jacobs helped by raising more funds with our auction items. We raised over R80 000 during the golf day. All the money will help fund various services that CANSA provides.”
