Healthy Community Futures Fund nears its goal
A charity golf day at Ballina Golf Club on Sunday, April 29, will get the Ballina Shire Healthy Community Futures Fund close to its goal of raising $150,000 to buy computerised radiology equipment for Ballina Hospital.
The AMP Foundation has announced that it will match any money raised on the day, dollar-for-dollar up to a total of $10,000.
Bob Grant, of the Futures Fund, said that two major donations last week brought the amount raised to more than $120,000.
Real Estate Multi List Agents, represented by Peter Savage (Century 21, Ballina), Peter Carmont (Ballina Professionals), Chris Harley (Lismore Real Estate) and Richard Campbell (L J Hooker Ballina), this week presented a cheque for $5000 to Mr Grant.
That donation followed one of $2000 by the Ballina on Richmond Rotary Club.
A good and generous turnout at the charity golf day, which is being organised by the Rotary Club of Ballina, is expected to close the gap on the $150,000 total.
The day will have a non-golfer-friendly format, so anyone can play. There will be a barbecue from 11am with a noon hit-off for the four-ball ambrose event.
