As the Byron Bay Boardriders (BBB) prepare for the 13th edition of our Charity Golf Day presented by Treager on October 27, on behalf of the club I would like to call attention to and give thanks for the community spirit that the event represents.
Over the years the event has raised nearly $100K to support and cultivate local junior surfers and help local families in need.
While the natural beauty of the local environment calls many to our area, the other beauty is the core community that supports those that need a helping hand and the club thanks those who have supported all of us over the years.
The BBB Charity Golf Day is an opportunity for the surfing, golfing and fun-loving elements of Byron Bay to get together, have an enjoyable day of ‘Best Ball’ golf, and raise money for a good cause.
Over the years, the event has helped the club support locals with cancer and those fighting other challenges. In the last year, BBB was able to help the family of long-time local surfer and BBB member Keith Anderson after his recent passing.
The club was also able to assist Mark ‘Mono’ and Deb Stewart with their inaugural adaptive surfing event and support the Westpac Helicopter.
The event also includes the Surf Industry Challenge and BBB encourages local surf related businesses to participate and try to win the perpetual trophy from current holders Style Surfing.
The raffle at the event is a big part of the fundraising and new raffle partners and sponsors are encouraged.
Contact Mark Krackowizer (Kraka) on 0431 570 574 or the Pro Shop at Byron Bay Golf Course for more information, and to get involved.
