Waikato/Coromandel Annual Charity Golf Day 2022 WAIKATO

The New Zealand Certified Builders (NZCB) Waikato/Coromandel region held our annual Charity Golf Day at Ngāruawāhia Golf Club last October. It was the perfect way to kick off the long weekend, and all 22 teams were in good spirits despite the patchy weather. There was a lot of good-natured banter between players and teams, and it was great to see everyone back in the clubhouse at the end of the day. There were some fantastic spot prizes on offer, and every team left with a full goodie bag.

Prostate Cancer Cheque handover

Our charity was Prostate Cancer New Zealand, which was very apt given that 90% of our members are male, and prostate cancer is something many find hard to talk about. Our members and sponsors gave generously, and we are pleased to say a whopping $10,000 was raised on the day. This was our last event for 2022, and it was great to finish 2022 on a high.

Thanks to all the NZCB Waikato Committee that gave up their time to help out on the day.

We also want to say a BIG thank you to all our fabulous sponsors who supported this event.

Our hole sponsors were PlaceMakers Clarence Street, Golf Boar, Makita, Eurotech Design, Bunnings/AEG Powertools, Carpet Mill, Winstone Wallboards, Franklin European Bathrooms Frankton, The ToolShed, WINTEC, and Avant Aluminium.

Our charity sponsors were Hampton Downs Go-Karts, Ngāruawāhia Golf Club, Inghams Chicken, Novotel Hamilton, Hair by Kirsty, Kennards Hire, Rylock Waikato, and Liquor King Rototuna.

There can be no doubt that, without all of you, this day would not be possible!

It took a bit of effort to find a time when we could get together with Prostate Cancer New Zealand to hand over the cheque for the funds raised at our annual Charity Golf Day. Finally, we managed to meet with Peter Dickens, their Chief Executive Officer, on Friday 2 December 2022 to proudly hand over a cheque for the $10,000 raised. The money will go to many great causes within Prostate Cancer, one being to raise awareness in our communities and another being to support men diagnosed with prostate cancer and their families.
