The Gift of Sight Golf Invitational

Loading player...
We got involved with The Gift of Sight Invitational and broadcast live from De Zalze Golf Estate. It’s more than just a golf day—it’s a powerful event filled with camaraderie, purpose, and impact. Golfers, philanthropists, and supporters will unite for one goal: to restore sight and transform lives. Hosted by the Gift of Sight Trust, this fundraiser generates vital funds for cataract surgeries. These life-changing procedures help people who can’t afford private care and have waited years for public treatment. Every swing, every putt, and every donation helps us move one step closer to ending preventable blindness in South Africa.
