The annual Somerville Laundry Lomax Charity Golf Day was another great success, with more than 140 golfers coming together in October to support Our Kids.
Our Kids is a local charity dedicated to improving health services and facilities for children across the Northern Rivers region.
For more than 15 years, Somerville Laundry Lomax Practice Manager and local golfer Peter Warren has helped organise the Charity Golf Day. The event has become an important part of the Our Kids fundraising calendar, helping provide essential equipment for Lismore Base Hospital and surrounding hospitals.
This year’s funds will contribute towards the purchase of two resuscitaires, with one allocated for Lismore Base Hospital and one for Ballina Hospital. A resuscitaire is an intensive care open crib that allows medical teams to provide immediate care and resuscitation support for newborns and infants.
The Charity Golf Day also coincided with National Bandanna Day, CanTeen’s fundraising and awareness campaign supporting teenagers with cancer. Golfers and spectators enjoyed a fantastic day while helping raise awareness and support for children and young people in the community.
