More than R1.4 million raised for conservation through golf swings in 2025

WT fundraising golf day

 

In October, the Endangered Wildlife Trust hosted our final golf day for 2025 at the Dainfern Golf Club in Johannesburg.

The event was proudly sponsored by Alexforbes, who not only sponsor, but host a number of their staff and clients at the event. The highveld weather was beautiful, the course immaculate, and all our golfers in good spirits, as one should be at a fundraising golf event.

At Dainfern, we raised over R300,000 for conservation and are extremely grateful to all of our donors for helping to make it a success. These include Alexforbes, Mongena Private Game Lodge, aha hotels, Dream Resorts and Hotels, Ritsako Game Lodge, Indaba Hotel, Fangio’s Restaurant, Seventeen Acacia’s, ReWorx’s, Rhino Sandton and Andy Cab, Ford Fourways, Painted Wolf Wines and many more.

In the past year, we have hosted four golf days across the country. The other three were at the Stellenbosch Golf Course. The Copperleaf Golf Estate in Centurion and Simbithi Golf Estate at Ballito Bay in KwaZulu-Natal.   All the days were hosted for a single cause—conservation—with two dedicated headline sponsors: Alexforbes and The Ford Wildlife Foundation, and more than 100 other sponsors. All-in-all more than 350 golfers teed off raising over R1.4 million raised for conservation.

A special thanks to the MSCTBee team who travelled from Stellenbosch to Pretoria and Ballito to join three out of the four golf days in 2025.   A special thanks also goes to each and every golfer and sponsor for helping us to raise such a meaningful contribution to our conservation work.

We are looking forward to achieving even more in 2026.

Although the game for October 2026 hasn’t been confirmed as yet, we will be teeing off at the following venues in 2026:
