Masajid to host golf day

Three Islamic organisations within the Cape Town area have come together to raise funds for their organisations and are inviting the broader community to the fundraising event. The Discover Islam Centre, Darun Naim Academy and Masjid al-Munowar will be having a joint golf day at the Rondebosch Golf Club on Saturday 1st July. Maulana Irshaad Sedick, one of the organisers of the event told VOC’s Afternoon Cruise that the three organisations individually approached the event coordinators a few months ago to offer their assistance in fundraising for the golf day.

“They approached organisers a few months ago and in their own capacity they decided that they were going to have one big fundraising event to raise funds and also benefiting all three organisations as well, making it easier for those who are constantly being requested to supply and support the organisation. I must say this was a brilliant idea because now all three can benefit Mashallah," he said.

Sedick said that they are still looking for sponsorships from various businesses to contribute towards the golf day. “We are calling on businesses to come and show their support for this good cause and sponsor a hole for only R2500 each. This is the ultimate fundraiser for the year and for these organisations as well. Hopefully they will benefit from it Insha Allah,” he said.

Organisers hope the weather plays it part on the day and even if it rains, the teams be playing throughout. "Hopefully, it will be a huge success Inshallah. If you are not playing on the day and would just like to come and support by watching, you are most welcome. We really need the funds and we ask you to come and show your support and donate whatever you can Insha Allah,” he urged.
