Minigolf fun weekend to help Hospice Taranaki
Two Taranaki IT companies are linking up to raise money for Hospice Taranaki, which is facing a shortfall of about $4.5 million.
Broadband provider Primo and data experts OurCloud will be running Inglewood Mini Golf on the weekend of January 29 and 30, with proceeds going to Hospice Taranaki.
Jasmine Harrison, Primo’s sponsorship co-ordinator, said she spoke to the Hospice Taranaki team at the recent Taranaki Chamber of Commerce Business Awards, where the hospice won the Not-for-Profit Excellence prize.
Primo contacted fellow New Plymouth IT company OurCloud who were keen to help.
Steve Collett, OurCloud’s general manager, said the staff leapt at the chance to help run the event.
‘‘It’s pretty cool for two Taranaki tech companies to work together for such a good cause.’’
The weekend is being called Putts for Bucks and as well as mini-golf, there will be raffles and a barbecue.
The usual entry fees of $10 for adults and $5 for children aged 12 and under apply.
Because the course is fully covered, Putts for Bucks will go ahead whatever the weather.
Covid level red protocols require all adults’ vaccine passes to be scanned.
The course will be open from 10am-5pm on both days.
