Charity Golf events in India have gained traction over the past decade after being a proven success in more developed golf markets in the West. And once again in Mumbai, business leaders came together to champion the cause of housing for underprivileged families at the 5th edition of annual Habitat Charity Golf Tournament organised by leading housing non-profit organisation Habitat for Humanity India.
Held at the prestigious Willingdon Sports Club in Mumbai, the proceeds from the charity golf tournament will be used to improve the housing conditions of tribal families in Palghar district (Maharashtra). Through the past four editions of the tournament, Habitat for Humanity India has touched the lives of more than 250 families through interventions in housing, WASH (water, sanitation, hygiene) and disaster risk reduction and response.
The 5th Habitat Charity Golf witnessed a total of 85 participants – including 10 women – who are distinguished business leaders, entrepreneurs and Golf enthusiasts. Some of the prominent leaders who took part in the 5th edition include Harsh Mariwala, Founder and Chairman – Marico; Arjun Nohwar, General Manager, South Asia – Warner Bros. Discovery and Luis Noda, Area Vice President – Asia Pacific, Habitat for Humanity International.
They were joined by renowned industry leaders for a gala dinner held later in the evening to raise awareness about the need for housing.
The supporting partners included Value Quest, Goodrich Maritime Private Limited, Chemical Process Piping and The Pant Project.
The previous editions of the charity tournament have also seen active participation from cricket legends like Brian Lara and Ajit Agarkar.
