The Caring for Life Foundation today announces the results of its second annual Scotiabank Golf Tournament, which was held last month at the North Sound Golf Club.  The winning team was CUC’s, but the ultimate winners are the people of the Cayman Islands.

The mission of the Caring for Life Foundation is to help improve healthcare for all Cayman Islands residents by raising funds to assist the Cayman Islands Health Services Authority. This year the Scotiabank Golf Tournament netted CI$15,578, to which Scotiabank added a generous $10,000, bringing the total to well over $25,000. These funds will be used, by the Caring for Life Foundation, to purchase needed hospital equipment and other resources to assist HSA and its patients.

“We are delighted to say that this year’s event surpassed the objective we had hoped to reach,” says Sharon Diaz, Chairperson of the Caring for Life Foundation and Senior Manager, Retail Banking at Scotiabank. “These funds will help to bring the Cayman Islands one step closer to achieving the Foundation’s goal of better healthcare right here at home.”

After a fun-filled afternoon on the fairways, the CUC team, composed of Richard Hew; Andrew Small; Anthony Lawson; and Isabel Lawson, finished with the best score. The players on the CUC team were each awarded a trophy and all participating teams were asked to come back and play again next year.

“We would like to thank everyone, – sponsors, volunteers and golfers – who helped make this year’s tournament such a success,” says Sarah Hobbs, Deputy Chairperson of the Caring for Life Foundation. “It was an enjoyable time for all of us, and best of all, the Foundation will now be able to make a donation to HSA for much-needed supplies and equipment. We hope to see all participants again next year.”

Main sponsor, Scotiabank, organised the tournament, as in prior years, and made a $10,000 donation. Event sponsors were Deloitte, Conyers Dill & Pearman, AL Thompson’s, and Consolidated Water. Supporting sponsors were Island Heritage and Walkers. Other sponsors included Foster’s; BDO; Bodden & Bodden; Five Continents; Atlas Insurance; Campbell’s; Higgs Johnson; WestStar; Silver Wheaton, and Solomon Harris.

Since it was first launched, the Caring for Life Foundation has supported a number of projects, including the purchase of equipment to test the hearing of all infants born at the Cayman Islands Hospital as well as other needed diagnostic equipment.
