Golf Day raises funds for animal welfare
The Society for Animals in Distress takes pride in ensuring that animals receive special medical attention when in need through their annual fundraising golf day.
For 65 years, the Society for Animals in Distress (Said) based in Midrand dedicated itself to providing vital veterinary care to animals in need, especially those whose owners are unable to cover the necessary medical expenses.
In a bid to raise much-needed funds, the non-profit organisation hosted its annual golf day event, which was set at the picturesque Dainfern Golf Estate, on September 14.
This year’s golf day saw an extraordinary gathering of affluent golf players and esteemed sponsors all coming together to make a meaningful difference in the lives of compromised animals.
Chief executive officer of Said, Meg Harvey, shared her thoughts on the organisation’s enduring mission and the significance of the annual golf day.
“At Said, our commitment to animal welfare has remained unwavering for the past 65 years. The annual golf day is not only a testament to the dedication of our supporters but also a vital lifeline for the animals we serve. With each swing of the club, we are one step closer to providing crucial veterinary care to those who need it the most.”
Just like they did in the previous years, this year’s event drew golfers from all walks of life, united by their shared passion for both the sport and the welfare of animals.
According to the fundraising coordinator, Keshvi Nair, the funds raised from the golf day will enable the organisation to continue offering veterinary care to animals whose owners are unable to afford it and ensure that no animal is left without the medical attention they deserve.
“The journey of 65 years has been a testament to the compassion of our community. As we celebrate this milestone, we recommit ourselves to the welfare of animals, with gratitude for every supporter who has walked this path with us,” the chief executive officer of the organisation, Meg Harvey, said.
