Raising funds for macular degeneration
The inaugural Roth Gair Charity Golf Day was held on Sunday 3 February 2008. Many teams participated on the day and the highlight was the putting competition that saw the competitive nature of golf come into play.
The MD Foundation’s CEO Julie Heraghty was invited to attend the event and spoke to players and guests at the luncheon held at the Rosebud Country Club about the disease and the work of the Foundation for whom they were fundraising. She also thanked Mr. Jamie Kennedy and his committed team of helpers, the sponsors and Mr. Bob Shearer for their outstanding efforts in making the day a wonderful success.
Lions have long held a reputation of outstanding contribution to eye health causes, and the Macular Degeneration Foundation is thankful for the recognition of such an influential community service organisation.
