The Tee-off time of the Tournament is 0900hrs and all golfers are expected to have a fun-filled Friday in the Mashonalan­d West Administra­tive Capital City.”

CUT has also pleaded with the corporate world to donate towards the cause.

These will be handed over to the beneficiar­ies. No donation is too small or too big as these will go a long way to help the three Homes.”
