SUCCESSFUL SHOPRITE CHECKERS OFM CHIP 4 CHARITY 2013

───   11:55 Tue, 12 Mar 2013

The annual Shoprite Checkers OFM Chip 4 Charity was held on Friday, March 8, 2013 at the Bloemfontein Golf Club.

This is the tenth year that this popular charity golf event took place with over R855 210. 89 raised for charity in the past nine years. 186 golfers graced the extravaganza this year and helped us raise a whooping R120 000 which has been donated to Child and Family Welfare Bloemfontein, Childline Free State and Shiloh Zoe Foundation (Moses Basket).

The Shoprite Checkers OFM Chip 4 Charity has become a highlight of several corporate calendars and attracts the biggest names in business and in central South Africa. With over R50 000 worth of prizes, a R10 000 prize for a hole-in-one on the fourth hole and a trophy for the best wet hole it is not surprising that the day had already sold out two weeks before the event. Once again this year the organizers had a full morning and afternoon with 186 players and wet holes at 15 of the 18 hole course. The four-ball of FNB’s Private Clients department was the winning team for 2013 with a total of 96 points while M&H Packaging walked away with the prize for the best wet hole.

Shoprite Checkers and OFM agree that the day would not have been successful if it were not for the contributions from their partners in the day, the players and the various service providers. The Kimberley installment of the Shoprite Checkers Chip 4 Charity is up next on April, 12 at Kimberley Golf Club.

Interested golfers who wish to enroll for next year's Chip 4 Charity can contact Jolanda Gerber at 051 5050900.
