Kumul Petroleum Charity Golf Challenge

Teams tee off in Lae charity challenge

Under clear skies, participants swung their clubs to raise funds for the cancer facility at the ANGAU Memorial Provincial Hospital.

“Given the challenges we experienced at the beginning of this year, where we had the ‘Black Wednesday’, then the vote-of-no-confidence and PUMA issues, I really want to thank all the teams that made the extra effort to come out here and participate,” said KPHL’s Community Affairs Manager, Malcolm Negints.

Lae Charity Golf to start

The inaugural Kumul Petroleum Charity Golf Challenge was launched last year, where K368,000 was raised to support the cancer treatment facility at the ANGAU Memorial Provincial Hospital.

KPHL said this was at least K100,000 more than the Port Moresby challenge due to the massive support received from the business houses in Morobe Province, including golf clubs in Madang, Ramu and the highlands region. In total, 50 Ambrose teams participated in the 2023 challenge.

KPHL Charity Golf Launched

Sponsored by Kumul Petroleum Holdings Limited, all proceeds from the event will go towards the cancer treatment facility at the ANGAU Memorial Provincial Hospital.

The charity golf challenge will tee off on February 4th, coinciding with World Cancer Day.

KPHL executive general manager corporate affairs, Luke Liria, said the golf challenge, which will be an annual event, aims to acquire chemotherapy drugs and other consumables used in cancer treatment.
