Rotary Club charity golf tourney set for November 6

THE 2021 Rotary Club of St Andrew North’s charity golf tournament, set for Saturday, November 6 at the Caymanas Golf Club, will benefit the Jamaica Cancer Society.

Rotary Club of St Andrew North President Kecia Taylor says part proceeds from the golf tournament will go towards the purchase of a new mobile unit for the Jamaica Cancer Society to be used for outreach activities.

“The support from corporate Jamaica has been very encouraging, as the companies rally to this important fundraiser to continue the fight against cancer,” she said.

The one-day charity golf tournament will see 70 golfers participating within the established COVID-19 protocols and approved by the relevant authorities. The Jamaica Golf Association has endorsed the event and the Tourism Product Development Company has declared the venue ‘COVID compliant’.

The tournament will be played in the format of 18 hole individual Stableford at 7/8 handicap in four flights, Mens/Mens Senior, Mens Super Senior, Ladies and Juniors. The categories will include Mens handicaps (0-9, 10-17,18 and over), Ladies and Juniors. Tee times will be from 7:10 a.m. to 12:30 p.m.

“It is a right fit for me and my company to participate in the upcoming event to benefit the Jamaica Cancer Society in keeping with our contributions to cancer patients through various philanthropic initiatives locally and in the USA, over the past decade,” Alliance International Medical (AIM) founder and Chief Executive Officer Jason Stanford said. “This fundraiser is aligned to AIM’s vision to provide greater access and support to persons with cancer.”
