Nelson Mandela Bay Executive Mayor Cllr. Athol Trollip today officially unveiled recipients of the Mayoral Charity Golf Day. The Mark Headbush Foundation is the proud host of the annual Mayoral Charity Golf Day that raises funds to benefit early education for underprivileged communities.

Last year a total of R256,000 was raised from the generosity the business sector and donated to the following beneficiaries; Amanzi Farm School, Colchester Primary School, Elundini Primary School, Mother Cummings Daycare, Teletubbies Creche and Vigilante Daycare.

“The primary aim is to donate these funds towards sustainable infrastructure and facilities that will improve quality of education” says Headbush Foundation, Mark Headbush.

Community Chest who administer and distribute these funds on behalf of the Mark Headbush Foundation applaud the efforts of their commitment and dedication to make a difference in the lives of the underprivileged.

“Our gratitude is extended to all the sponsors and donors that continue to support this worthy causer” says Community Chest CEO, Jimmy Gotyana.

The Mayoral Charity Golf Day has become a prominent fixture in the business calendar of the Nelson Mandela Bay Metro, attended by both local and national business executives. The corporate sector has demonstrated its commitment over the years to make a difference in the lives of the less fortunate.
