Lloyd’s charity golf day delivers a hole in one

We were delighted to attend the Lloyd’s Charity Golf Day 2021 in November at the Concord Golf Club in Sydney. A great day of golf resulted in a fantastic fundraising result for spinal cord injury, even if there wasn’t a hole in one on the field.

Kathryn Borkovic, our CEO, Duncan Wallace, our Executive Director and Grant Millington, Strategy Director represented SpinalCure, and met up with many members of the Lloyd’s Australia insurance and underwriting community for a friendly Ambrose tournament.

There were some cracker shots (and some shockers!!), and a wonderful morning of golf—the rain just holding off for us.

Thanks to everyone’s enthusiastic participation $18,525 together we raised on the day for SpinalCure. What a great result, especially as this was Lloyd’s second golf event for the year.

We were also thrilled to receive some generous donations towards cure-related spinal cord injury research directly following the day, meaning the total amount raised was nearly $20,000.

Thanks again to Lloyd’s Australia and to everyone who took part in this fantastic day on the green, furthering some great connections and raising money for spinal cord injury research.

“It was another brilliant day! I’ve lost count of how many we’ve had now but they are always a real highlight of our year.”
Duncan Wallace, Executive Director – SpinalCure Australia.
