With golf clubs in hand and community spirit in their hearts, 52 locals took to the green last Friday to help raise more than $5,300 for youth charity Youth Solutions.
Cloudy skies could not dampen the spirit and success of the sell-out Youth Solutions annual charity golf day at Campbelltown Golf Club.
The first date proposed day was rained out back in March.
The event brought together businesses and individuals from across the community for an afternoon of golf, celebrations and a taste of Youth Solutions’ signature activities.
As part of those signature activities, the players were challenged to identify standard drink amounts and tried their hand at the fatal vision goggles, which simulate the vision of a person affected by alcohol.
They also got involved with Youth Solutions’ Safer Celebrations initiative, by chalking up messages of advice to young people about celebrating safely.
Youth Solutions Chief Executive Officer Geraldine Dean thanked those who supported the event.
“On behalf of the Youth Solutions family, we would like to thank everyone who turned up to play, sponsored a hole or donated prizes in support of the event.
“We are very grateful,” Mrs Dean said.

“A special thank you to those event hole sponsors: Bradcorp, Fab Industrial, Grace Information and Records Management, Kelly+Partners Chartered Accountants, Parto’s Plumbing & Drainage, Pereira Realty Group, Rooster’s Traffic Control, TLD Logistics and Tree Solutions.”
Mrs Dean encouraged community members to join the fun and get involved with Youth Solutions’ other upcoming events, including the Annual Charity Event at The Cube, Campbelltown Catholic Club on Saturday, July 22.
