Lautoka Golf Club has surpassed its $5000 target in raising funds for the victims of Severe Tropical Cyclone Yasa.
The cyclone was the strongest in the South Pacific since TC Winston in December 2016, and the fourth most intense tropical cyclone on record in the basin.
Thanks to the Anil’s Egg Distributors-sponsored Pool Table challenge last Saturday, the club concluded its successful fundraiser for the TC Yasa victims.
Club president Chong Lee commended all the sponsors which helped raised $5200 to the very worthy cause.
