On a beautiful day at Education City Golf Club (ECGC), golfers came together for the ECGC Captain’s Charity Day 2024, powered by lululemon, to swing for a cause that went beyond just the love of golf. This year's charity event raised crucial funds and awareness for Paws Rescue Qatar, a non-profit organization dedicated to rescuing and rehabilitating animals in need across Qatar.
The event not only featured some exciting golf action but also a special appearance from friendly K9s, adding to the heartwarming atmosphere of the day. It was wonderful to see the community come together to support this meaningful cause.
Golfers Tee Off for a Greater Purpose
Participants weren’t just competing for bragging rights—they were playing to make a difference. Every swing and every hole completed contributed to raising over QAR 12,500, with 100% of the proceeds going to Paws Rescue Qatar. This funding will support the shelter's mission of providing medical care, rehabilitation, and new homes for rescued animals.
It was an extraordinary day of giving, proving that the ECGC community can unite to create positive change both on and off the course.
