The children of St Laurence’s Children’s Haven visited the estate on the Saturday, and were treated by Mike Varrie of the Canyons to lunch and inflatable fun. It was so humbling to get to meet these amazing small people who have already experienced more than most adults in their short lives – yet their resilience shines through, hair wet from playing on the water slides, their eyes bright, smiles wide. And, in that moment – it grounded the reason why we host this annual event. As, ultimately, it’s the charities that are the winners of the day and we thank each and every one of you helped to make this event a success.

HOA Charity Golf Day - Who you supported!

The Supper Foundation (https://supperfoundation.org)

The SUPPER Foundation is a charity organization born out of one man’s love and vision for Soweto. The goal of the SUPPER Foundation is to provide hope, food, education, and spiritual guidance to the disadvantaged children of Soweto and other impoverished areas. Various programs are run by the SUPPER Foundation from meals on wheels to holiday centres and food programs. In close on 20 years of service, over 20 000 people have been fed.

The Caddy Fund

The Caddy Fund assists those Eagle Canyon caddies who have arrived to caddy but do not get a bag for the day. The fund provides these caddies who work on tips only, with a meal and transport money, as well as additional support when required.

St. Laurence’s Children’s Haven (https://www.childrenshaven.co.za/)

The St Laurence’s Children’s Haven was founded in January 2001 under the auspices of the Roodepoort Child and Family Welfare Society.

The Haven was the dream of a group of lifelong friends – their mission is to offer abused, neglected, and abandoned children, aged from 6 months to 18 years, love and care in a secure and warm environment.

 They receive three cooked meals a day, bath, or shower daily, attend local schools and are supervised by trained house parents who are approved by Child and Family Welfare. For many of the children this is first in their young lives. Under these conditions, very soon the pain and trauma they have suffered passes, and they adapt to becoming young, healthy, caring, and balanced children.
