Support the Children’s Cancer Foundation of South Africa and enjoy a great game of golf.

Varsity College Durban North’s students are very excited about hosting the campus’ annual golf day – in aid of Children’s Cancer Foundation of South Africa (CHOC). The event takes place at Beachwood Country Club on 23 September; and is a culmination of teamwork between the sports management 2nd year students, the Student Liaison Body and the VC Cares group.

Holistic Development for students

“Students at Varsity College are encouraged, as part of Varsity College’s educational philosophy of developing students holistically, to maintain a healthy balance between their studies and sport, social, cultural and community engagement activities”, says Jeanie Budd, National Student Relations Manager of Varsity College.

Companies are invited to partner with Varsity College Durban North by sponsoring a tee or green, entering a four ball, donating prizes or making a general donation to CHOC.

Varsity College and CHOC – Keeping more than hope alive

Says Agie Govender, Divisional Manager CHOC KZN: “CHOC – KZN is very proud to be associated with Varsity College and their National Golf Day initiative. This initiative raises the profile of CHOC and creates awareness of a College that cares. All the money raised will be used for CHOC activities in the region which would include maintaining our CHOC Lodge and CHOC Houses. This will ensure that parents have a home away from home to be close to their children who are undergoing chemotherapy, radiation and any other procedures.

The partnership we have with Varsity College is ongoing and not a once off. Their commitment to ‘KEEPING MORE THAN HOPE ALIVE” for children with cancer and related life threatening blood disorders is constant”.
