The aim of the golf day was to raise money for non-profit organisations.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe first golf day was at the Modderfontein Golf Course,\u201d said Dimitri Papadakis, owner of Turn \u2019n Tender Bedfordview.<\/p>
”We had a field of 24 teams.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis year we moved to the Royal Johannesburg and Kensington Golf Club and had a full field of 34 teams.”<\/p>\n
Papadakis added that they wanted to give back to the communities in which they operate.<\/p>\n \u201cOur stores are in seven areas of Gauteng and have been very well received and supported by these communities,” he explained.<\/p>\n \u201cWe wanted to give back as well and felt that supporting our local charities would be a good start.<\/p>\n \u201cWe are inspired each year by the huge generosity of our guests.<\/p>\n \u201cThey willingly give of their time, and support and encourage our initiative every year.<\/p>\n \u201cThe initiative started in support of St Mary\u2019s Children\u2019s Home.<\/p>\n \u201cThis year, as we have included all seven Turn \u2019n Tender Steakhouses, each restaurant selected a worthy beneficiary from their area.<\/p>\n \u201cIt is up to each steakhouse to select their beneficiary each year,\u201d said Papadakis.<\/p>\n This year the Bedfordview branch chose Elandsvallei Home for the Aged, in Primrose.<\/p>\n The steakhouse aims to give R50 000 to each beneficiary.<\/p>\n The first golf day in 2013 raised a total of R65 000 and the second one raised R170 000.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Related articles:<\/p>\n![\"Having](\"https:\/\/germistoncitynews.co.za\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/31\/2015\/11\/47GCNSPORTGOLFMH2_06554.jpg\")
