Daffodil golf raises K100,000 for cancer

THE Oil Search Daffodil Golf Cup raised more than K100,000 in Port Moresby on Friday to support the work of the Papua New Guinea Cancer Foundation.
With the support of the business community, K117,060 was raised from team registration fees, auction and a raffle.
“All funds raised from the event will go towards bringing cancer education and awareness programmes to communities and schools throughout the country next year,” said Leon Buskens, Oil Search
general manager for stake-holder engagement Papua New Guinea.
“Oil Search has been a passionate sponsor of the
Daffodil Corporate Golf Challenge since the event began in 2003.
“This makes it the 16th consecutive year that we have worked with the Cancer Foundation PNG in helping to reduce the threat and impact of cancer in Papua New Guinea through education, prevention and clinical support.
“We look forward to this continued partnership which will ensure organisations such as Cancer Foundation can continue to carry out their programmes.”
