About Us
The South Wagga Rotary Charity Golf Day is a fun day of golf, friendship, good food, a few drinks and some great prizes, all in the name of raising much-needed funds and support for some of our much loved local charities. Hit a hole in one on the 18th to win a brand-new Lexus car or hit a hole in one on the 7th hole to win $5,000 in white goods. There will also be a fabulous auction for everyone to participate in.
The Club will give one hundred per cent of the Annual Charity Golf Day proceeds directly to support our beneficiaries and community groups. Over the previous 24 months, we have distributed $150,000 in community support. In total, since the inception of the golf day, we have raised some $550k to put back into our community. Rotary has consistently been voted in the top level of reputable charities in the world.
The new prospectus has been uploaded to the website with no increase in sponsorship costings and a greater definition of the differences in the sponsorship categories.
Important Information
You and your business have been continuing sponsors of our Annual Charity Golf Day and the 2025 day will be our 27th such event. The 2024 Golf Day raised $45.4K, all of which was then distributed to local charities where 100% of those funds were directed at specific on-the-ground outcomes. Our total raisings since the inception of the golf day is approx. $550K, all of which has gone on-the-ground in our community.
In 2022 we developed a new website to facilitate sponsorship processes, to keep sponsors and teams informed, to facilitate team registration and to improve both our accounting and project management. In 2023 and 2024 our website worked well and minimum changes have been made for 2025.
The date of the 2025 Charity Golf day will be Friday March 28th, 2025.
Potential prizes for the Day include:
• A new Lexus sedan
