Golf tourney for a cause of New World Hotels & Resorts back for a third year

BUILDING on the success of its first two editions, New World Hotels & Resorts brings back for the third straight year its golf for a cause event.
Happening on Sept. 28 at The Manila Southwoods Golf & Country Club in Carmona, Cavite, the New World Hotels & Resorts Cup, set up in line with the group’s corporate social responsibility (CSR) thrust of giving back to the community it serves, will be raising funds for the second year in a row for Springboard Foundation.
Established in 2002, Springboard Foundation, through the golf event, is hoping to receive funds to see its young scholars through their secondary education, 20 of which are already completing senior high school this academic year.
In last year’s edition, the Golf Cup was able to raise P400,000 for Springboard Foundation, something New World hopes to better in 2018.
“We partnered again with Springboard Foundation as our beneficiary this year to continue providing its scholars with sustainable and quality education. As a strong advocate of this initiative, New World Hotels & Resorts is grateful to work with an organization that has an effective system and is passionate in what they believe in,” said Farid Schoucair, General Manager of New World Makati Hotel, during the media launch of the event on Sept 7.
For Springboard Foundation, the renewed partnership with New World to be its golf cup beneficiary is very much welcomed by the organization.
“We are very grateful for the opportunity to partner anew with New World for this prestigious event. To our amazement, through the partnership we were able to provide scholarships for just about almost 100 scholars to help them improve their lives… This opportunity for them is really incredible,” said Annette Helbig, chairperson of Springboard Foundation, said at the launch.
FORMAT
Those interested in joining the golf cup may do so for a tournament fee of P4,500, which is already inclusive of green fee, caddy, golf cart (sharing), and lunch.
Just like last year, the tournament will be adopting a four-man scramble format to make the event more “fun” and “informal.”
The Legends Course of Manila Southwoods will be used with registration starting as early as 6 a.m.
The event is in collaboration with Fortunegate Holdings Philippines Inc., Jeeves of Belgravia Manila, media partner Solar Sports, and airline partner Philippine Airlines.
