Ruby Mae’s Wish Golf Day Raises Over $40,000 for a Worthy Cause
The inaugural Ruby Mae’s Wish Golf Day at Barraba Golf Club was nothing short of extraordinary.
What began as an idea spanning several months of planning grew into a fantastic community event that brought together golfers, families, local businesses, volunteers, and supporters for a day filled with fun, generosity, and community spirit—all in support of Ruby Mae’s Wish.
Held on 22 March, the event offered something for everyone. While teams of golfers enjoyed a day on the course, families and non-golfers joined in the festivities with a range of activities, games, entertainment, raffles, and an exciting charity auction. The family-friendly atmosphere ensured there was plenty to keep both adults and children entertained throughout the day.
Most importantly, the event achieved an incredible outcome for the charity, with the Golf Day and Charity Auction raising a phenomenal $40,114.10.
