Presenting the donation on behalf of the club Dr. Adewale Akingbade, accompanied by the captain of Ilorin Golf Club Luqman Yahaya, said the club had identified the orphanage during their tournament in Ilorin back in August and a decision was made to support its activities.
He used the occasion to call on other affluent individuals in the society to follow their lead and provide support for less privileged homes saying such contributions could significantly brighten the future for the orphans, particularly those living with disabilities.
The proprietor of the orphanage, Pastor Samuel Ajayi, expressed profound gratitude for the club’s contribution.
He prayed for divine upliftment and blessings for the members of the Golf & Tour Group in recognition of their generous act.
By fulfilling its philanthropic commitments, the Golf & Tour Group continues to set a commendable example, encouraging more individuals and groups to contribute to humanitarian causes and support the less privileged in society.
