The City of Wanneroo has paired with the business community to stage a successful Charity Golf Day, raising over $40000.

A total of 26 teams of 104 golfers took part in the day at Carramar Golf Course, with money raised going towards chaplaincy services at the City of Wanneroo public high schools.

Mayor Tracey Roberts who played in the event, thanked everyone who supported the charity day, an annual event in the City of Wanneroo calendar.

"This is a very special event raising money to employ chaplains in our schools. This vital service operates at the coal face to help young people with the problems they may be facing," Mayor Roberts said. "The chaplains do a great job, and it is very gratifying that we have again raised such a substantial amount to support their good work."

Golfers enjoyed a post game function with the school chaplains and YouthCARE area Chaplain Michael Norman. They were joined by a number of City of Wanneroo staff who also raised several thousand dollars for the chaplaincy program.
