BTN News: Education has long been heralded as the key to unlocking a brighter future, and this September, you have the opportunity to contribute to this noble cause while enjoying a day of golf in Bogotá. The Fundación Juan Pablo Gutiérrez Cáceres is hosting its prestigious Annual Golf Tournament at the exclusive Los Lagartos Club, specifically on the scenic Corea course, on Thursday, September 5th. This highly anticipated event is not just an exhibition of golfing prowess; it’s a meaningful opportunity to support the education of underprivileged youth across Colombia. By participating in this tournament, you’re not just swinging a golf club; you’re swinging open the doors to education for countless deserving students.
The Fundación Juan Pablo Gutiérrez Cáceres, established in 2007, has been at the forefront of providing post-graduate scholarships to young Colombians who face financial hardships. Since its inception, the foundation has successfully awarded 600 scholarships, enabling recipients from various regions to pursue higher education and, in many cases, become the first in their families to attend university. These scholarships are life-changing, offering young people the tools and opportunities they need to transform their lives and, by extension, their communities. The Annual Golf Tournament is one of the foundation’s key fundraising events, helping to secure the financial resources necessary to continue this important work.
This year’s tournament promises to be a memorable occasion, thanks to the generous support of several prominent companies. Sponsors such as Distribuidora Los Coches, Alkosto, Postobón, Central Cervecera de Colombia, RCN Radio, RCN TV, Spring, Porvenir, Acciones y Valores, Ingenio Providencia, Global Education, Amor Perfecto, Aviatur, and many others have come together to ensure the event’s success. These companies not only contribute financially but also provide in-kind donations that enhance the experience for all participants. From refreshing drinks to delicious meals, every aspect of the day is carefully planned to create an enjoyable and rewarding event.
For golf enthusiasts, the tournament offers more than just the thrill of the game. Participants will have the chance to win a variety of attractive prizes, including those awarded in the different raffles throughout the day. The event is structured to provide a full day of enjoyment, with the registration fee of $390,000 covering the green fee, refreshments, lunch, and participation in the raffles. Whether you’re an experienced golfer or just enjoy the sport, this tournament offers a unique way to indulge your passion while supporting a worthy cause.
