PORT Moresby Rotary has claimed the 2024 Red Shield Appeal golf title following a one-day Ambrose at the Royal Port Moresby Golf club on Friday that raised K100,000 for charity.
The team led by 2023 Pacific Games silver medalist Morgan Annatto with Alice Nipson and Grox Sotto finished ahead of MinPac PNG.
MinPac was boosted with national rep and Annatto’s Pacific Games teammate Gideon Tikili with Sir Lucas Cragnolini and Martha Gabriel.
Out of 30 registered teams, Pom Rotary, MinPac PNG, Badili Hardware, JRA and Kumul Petroleum Holdings round up the top five.
Organiser of the event, Dame Monica Salter, thanked all corporate teams, business houses and individuals who came out to make a difference in the lives of those in need.
“Your generosity and community spirit, are truly inspiring and will make a difference in the lives of those in need,” Dame Monica said.
Lieutenant colonel Suzanne Stevenson from the Papua New Guinea Solomon Islands Salvation Army said this event was used to raise funds for a worthy cause.
“We say thank you to our sponsors for this year’s event as we raise money for social services like our reintegration, social justice, Houses of Hope in Ela Beach and Kainantu and for our literacy programs among others.”
She said this year’s event marks six years of hosting this charitable event and has done a great impact towards communities and social activities that include youths and children as well.
“Our objectives is to target our literacy programme around the country where people in our church get to learn a lot more through literacy skills.
“About 60 churches are currently running these programme nationwide and with the funds raised from here it will go a long way with our programme,” she added.
