Charity Golf Event, Dinner and Auction Raised Money for the Turks and Caicos AIDS
Awareness Foundation (TCAAF) and the Edward C Gartland Youth Centre
Sunday, June 26th 2016 – Twenty two teams took part in the TCAAF’s 16th Annual Golf Tournament which commenced at 1:30pm. It was a great turn out and fun was had by all who attended.
According to Jadot Cup Chairman and TCAAF Director Terry Drummey “The 16th annual Jadot cup was the most memorable and best so far. Almost 90 golfers came out this year, many of whom take part year after year and we would like to thank all of them for their continuous support. Our congratulation to this year’s winning team: The Casino Royale Team! A special thank you also goes out to all the companies that donated along with Wine Cellar, Dave and his the Provo Golf Club, who helped to make our 16th year huge success.” Director of Golf at the Provo Golf Club, Dave Douglas highlighted “This year’s Jadot Cup event and Silent Auction was a record breaking fundraiser for the Provo Golf Club in its 16 years of operation.”
In conjunction with the golf tournament the Wine Cellar hosted its 16th Annual Jadot Cup dinner at Stelle, Gansevoort on Friday, 24th June 2016 with a menu of delectable dishes and intriguing wines. The sold out event was enjoyed by all and a portion of the proceeds was donated to the TCAAF. A silent auction was held during the evening to raise further funds for the TCAAF. Mr. Galmo Williams, TCAAF Patron, said “Hats off to Gansevoort team for hosting an unforgettable food and wine pairing. Their staff’s professionalism and courteous manner was icing on the cake; A special ‘Thank You’ to our Silent Auction sponsors, who donated excellent prizes which inspired wallets to open eagerly. We would also like to thank the patrons that bid generously on the silent auction prizes knowing that it was all going to a worthy cause.”
The weekend’s event not only helps to raise awareness of the TCAAF but also assists with funds towards its flagship project – the Edward Gartland Youth Centre in Downtown, Providenciales. The Centre which caters to young people between the ages of 10-18 years old has had over 1600 young people registered.
The funds raised by TCAAF assists the Youth Centre with their various extracurricular programmes and projects for the young people who frequent the centre and the operational costs of the centre. Being able to make a difference in the lives of the youth in the Turks & Caicos Islands through the various programs, including volleyball, basketball, tennis, art & craft, computers and dance to name a few, is very rewarding.
We would like to thank all of our Silent Auction and Hole sponsors of the 2016 Jadot Cup, who helped make it a success:
