The Wanderers Club has a strong track record of supporting the Wellington community by hosting golf tournaments as fundraisers for local nonprofits and civic organizations.
Starting this month, the club is launching a new initiative that will expand its community engagement.
Called “Tee It Up Fore Charity,” the program gives club members the ability to support worthy, nonprofit organizations that they have a special interest in, therefore giving back to the community and giving non-members the opportunity to experience the private club.
Every member at the Wanderers Club is entitled to one gift certificate, which can be redeemed for a foursome of golf and includes complimentary cart fees.
Members can donate the foursome to the charity of their choice. The charity can then auction off the foursome and retain 100 percent of the proceeds.
The value of a golf foursome at the Wanderers Club is $650. With almost 400 members, the club is making a charitable contribution of over $250,000.
“We believe in supporting the community where our members and employees work and play, and our relationship with the community is core to our identity and success as a club,” said Justin Thompson, general manager of the Wanderers Club.
Thompson is spearheading the program, which he feels is a win-win for everyone involved.
“We know there is a great need to further the funding goals of many deserving nonprofits that depend on the generosity of those who can afford to give,” he said. “Our members have big hearts, and we expect them to embrace the opportunity to share our magnificent club and golf course while supporting worthy causes.”
