Telecom Fiji Limited, in partnership with the Fiji Cancer Society (FCS), announces the successful conclusion of the annual Telecom Fiji Charity Golf Tournament, held last month at the Golf Club in Vatuwaqa, Suva. Now in its third consecutive year, this highly anticipated event brought together passionate golfers, community leaders, and supporters, raising a record-breaking $33,420—the highest amount to date.
Telecom Fiji has been a steadfast supporter of this meaningful cause. This year’s funds surpassed previous totals, including $25,137 in 2023 and $19,288 in 2022, reflecting the event’s growing impact and the generosity of its participants.
The funds will empower the Fiji Cancer Society to expand outreach programs, improve resources, and enhance patient support services, including the purchase of essential equipment for cancer testing, diagnosis, and care. In alignment with the Movember initiative, the event also offered free PSA (Prostate-Specific Antigen) screenings in collaboration with the Ministry of Health, emphasizing the importance of early detection and preventive healthcare.
Charles Goundar, CEO of Telecom Fiji, expressed his gratitude: “Supporting the Fiji Cancer Society is an honor for Telecom Fiji. This tournament is more than just a game—it’s a community commitment to fighting cancer. We’re proud to stand with FCS in making a tangible difference.”
Belinda Chan, CEO of the Fiji Cancer Society, highlighted the event’s significance: “Cancer awareness through sports resonates deeply with many people. Every swing at this tournament represents a step toward reducing the burden of cancer in our communities. We are truly grateful for the generous support from Telecom Fiji and all our sponsors who made this event possible.”
