Benefit for cancer care

Women golfers from Everglades Country Club have raised $2000 for the cancer care unit at Gosford Hospital in a charity golf day.

The golf day was the culmination of months of fundraising.

The golf day is part of an annual fundraising effort which raises money for a different charity each year.

The sponsored event saw over 100 women turn out for a friendly competition with skincare prize packs donated by the day's sponsor.

Phyl Oman took out the major prize with a score of 41 points and Jan Montgomery came a close second on 39.

Other winners of the L'Oreal Paris Skincare prize packs were Donna Mitchell, Julie Ellitott, Jackie Yorke and Veronica Jordan.

Gosford Hospital's publicity officer Terry Hayes was presented with the $2000 cheque at the presentations on Thursday, May 1.

The money will be used to help set up the new cancer care unit in the new building currently under construction at Gosford Hospital.
