Golf Day Big Success for The Family Co.

On Friday 21st May, The Family Co. hosted their inaugural Charity Golf Day at Sharks at Kareela, successfully raising $25,000.

CEO Ashleigh Daines, in thanking the 70+ people attending, confirmed that the funds have been earmarked for additional support programs and a part time caseworker to help the charity respond to increased demand for family assistance and domestic violence support.

The Charity Golf Day event came together through the assistance and generosity of Sharks at Kareela, Major Sponsor, Aliro Group’s TripleTwoNine project, Minor Sponsors Martinus and BRC Lifts, hole sponsors and the many local businesses who entered teams and participated on the day.

Major Sponsor, the Aliro Group, who are leading the redevelopment of the former Toyota site at Caringbah through their TripleTwoNine project, came on board when they saw the wonderful work that The Family Co. does; “Aliro Group recognises the importance of The Family Co’s work with children and young families and our alignment with their vision of supporting the local community by enhancing their ability to be safe, have strong connections and thrive in life. Aliro is proud to be the gold sponsor of The Family Co’s inaugural golf day and looks forward to further supporting the local community by creating better places for people to connect and thrive at our TripleTwoNine development in Caringbah.” said Aliro Fund Manager and Chief Delivery Officer, Andrzej Masztak.

Team A from the REC Gym at Kirrawee took out the inaugural Ambrose style event, winning a Sharks Corporate Box for 4 people.

The Family Co. has already announced the date for the 2022 Charity Golf Day, being Friday 18th March, 2022.

Local Newspaper The Leader also published a story about the event.
