Take a swing in Mount Edgecombe to save a life
GOLFERS and corporates are being called to swing into action for a meaningful cause at the SA Bone Marrow Registry's (SABMR) fourth annual charity golf day, set for September 26 at the Mt Edgecombe Country Club, the Lakes.

More than just a friendly round of golf, the event aims to raise vital funds for the SABMR's Patient Assistance Programme, which helps cover the cost of life-saving bone marrow stem cell transplants for vulnerable patients.
'This isn't just about golf, it's about giving someone a second chance at life. Every cent raised on the day goes directly towards helping patients who cannot afford the procedures they urgently need,' said Kapil Premchand, KZN SABMR sustainability co-ordinator.
This year's goal is to support three patients from KZN who have been diagnosed and are in desperate need of stem cell transplants.
Players and supporters can contribute by entering a fourball team at R3750, sponsoring a hole, donating prizes, or simply making a pledge. The day includes a full golfing experience with welcome drinks, lunch, a sit-down dinner, an exciting auction, and a celebratory prize-giving ceremony.
'Expect some incredible items on auction – from signed sports memorabilia and luxury getaways to lifestyle vouchers and exclusive experiences. There's also an online auction powered by AUCOR Auctioneers launching a week ahead of the event,' Premchand added.
With proceeds going directly to patients in need, Premchand said the event offers a unique opportunity for participants to 'play a round and save a life'.
Bookings close on September 25, and spaces are limited.
