Charity Golf Tournament
The birth of this tournament came out of a
need to have the Pediatric Ward at the hospital refurbished. Diamonds
International tending to strongly favor projects with children decided to
sponsor a golf tournament that would raise funds for the Pediatric Ward
Refurbishment program. The target was half a million dollars.
Since 1999 the tournament has become an
annual event with a very strong support group. Partners Sandy Lane have
been with us since inception and continue to work with us to meet our
targets. By 2000, the Diamonds International\Rotary Club of Barbados
West\Sandy Lane Golf Classic raised over US$162,500 meeting the target for
the completion of the refurbishment program.
From 2001 to 2004 the Classic raised US$
200,000 and these funds went towards a National Scholar Trust Fund
(supported and endorsed by the Government of Barbados) for less fortunate
children seeking tertiary education. This tournament is held at the
luxurious Sandy Lane Golf and Country Club (www.sandylane.com).
This year’s tournament will be held , Sunday
May 14, 2006 at the premier Sandy Lane Golf & Country Club.
Diamonds International would like to take
this opportunity to thank all those persons who lend their support to this
very worthy cause.
