SUN CITY - Wings & Wishes and the Wildlands Conservation Trust in partnership with Qhubeka were the big winners at the glittering Gary Player Invitational (GPI) gala auction which took place at The Palace of the Lost City last Friday and raised over R 4 million.
The GPI, Africa’s leading charity tournament, is presented by Coca-Cola and took place at the Lost City Golf Course on Saturday and Sunday featuring celebrities teamed with professional golfers and leading business executives.
The black-tie event, which is the tournament’s largest fundraiser, saw golf stars Gary Player, Retief Goosen, Tony Johnstone and Cheyenne Woods rubbing shoulders with Law & Order star Anthony Anderson and CSI New York’s Carmine Giovinazzo, Westlife’s Brian McFadden and his glamorous wife Vogue, as well as South Africa’s fi rst couple of radio Unathi and Thomas Msengana.
As always the most sought after item at the auction was the all-expenses paid, week-long trip to The Masters including staying in The Player Group House as a personal guest of Gary Player and Black Knight International.
The item went for R350 000 purchased by Grant Horsfi eld, Chairman of Naked Resorts in China.
All funds raised will be distributed to Wings & Wishes and the Wildlands Conservation Trust in partnership with Qhubeka.
“We will do 2 000 plane trips this year in order to transport needy children to hospitals for life saving surgery. The funds raised during the GPI will help us continue to grow that number in 2014,” said Doug Jackson, the CEO of Coca-Cola Sabco bottling plants across Africa and Asia.
