Now in its sixth year, Blooms The Chemist’s Charity Golf Day brought together over 125 sponsors and ambassadors to the Strathfield Golf course in Sydney last Fri to raise funds for Make-A-Wish Australia. Participants played in teams of four, while non-golfers took part in a Paint and Sip activity, donated by Pinot & Picasso. “We are pleased to share that our 2023 Charity Golf Day has raised $60,000 for Make-AWish Australia, which is a record for us,” Blooms The Chemist CEO Emmanuel Vavoulas said. “As community pharmacy professionals, we are committed to leading with kindness. “We are proud to have been an official partner of Make-A-Wish Australia since 2016, helping to grant the wishes of critically ill children, and we thank all our partners, sponsors, valued customers and team members for rallying together for this very important cause,” he said. Make-A-Wish Australia CEO Sally Bateman was a guest speaker during the Blooms The Chemist’s Charity Golf Day lunch and charity raffle and highlighted the impact granting wishes can have on critically ill children. “A wish granted can improve self-confidence, and emotional wellbeing and play an important role in giving the child something positive to look forward to. “We are dedicated to doing everything in our power to enable children with critical illnesses to create happy memories with their families that will last a lifetime,” Bateman said. Since 2016, Blooms The Chemist has donated over $1.7 million to Make-A-Wish Australia.
