Nei­ther grey skies nor scat­tered show­ers could damp­en the en­er­gy and en­thu­si­asm on Sun­day as Women in Ac­tion for the Needy and Des­ti­tute (WAND) host­ed its third an­nu­al “Hole in WAND” Golf Tour­na­ment at the pic­turesque Pointe-a-Pierre Golf Club.

This year’s tour­na­ment was a sell-out event, mark­ing WAND’s largest turnout yet, with en­thu­si­as­tic par­tic­i­pa­tion from many of T&T’s lead­ing com­pa­nies.

First place ho­n­ours went to Guardian Life of the Caribbean, with play­ers Dau­rance Williams and Chris­ton Bap­tiste de­liv­er­ing a stel­lar per­for­mance. Re­pub­lic Bank fol­lowed close­ly be­hind, fin­ish­ing with a com­mend­able 44 points.

Promi­nent com­pa­nies such as Nu­trim­ix, Langston Roach, Unit Trust Cor­po­ra­tion, and Ken­son proud­ly joined the day’s line­up, all tee­ing off in sup­port of WAND’s on­go­ing mis­sion to up­lift the un­der­served.

WAND pres­i­dent Aman­da Jar­dine ex­pressed heart­felt thanks to her board mem­bers for their con­tin­ued ded­i­ca­tion and con­grat­u­lat­ed all teams. She ex­pressed thanks to the spon­sors and donors, to whom WAND re­mains deeply grate­ful.

Funds raised dur­ing the tour­na­ment will ben­e­fit sev­er­al of WAND’s projects sup­port­ing the less for­tu­nate of so­ci­ety.

WAND’s next sig­na­ture fundrais­er, “Bub­bles & Benev­o­lence,” will take place on Ju­ly 5 at Free­bird, promis­ing an­oth­er mean­ing­ful op­por­tu­ni­ty to give back while cel­e­brat­ing in style.
