The Cotlands Charity Golf Day is an opportunity for individuals and businesses to contribute to a worthy cause while enjoying a fantastic day of golf and networking. Participants can enter a four-ball team for R5’500 and enjoy a day on the greens while making a difference.

Companies can sponsor a hole for R6’000, showcasing their commitment to improving early learning opportunities for South African children. Whether you’re looking to network with like-minded professionals, gain brand exposure, or simply enjoy a day of golf with a purpose, this event offers a unique platform to engage while making a tangible difference in the lives of young children.

South Africa faces significant challenges in early childhood development, with many children lacking access to quality learning opportunities. Cotlands’ toy libraries and training programmes play a crucial role in bridging this gap by providing structured, play-based educational resources to ECD centres in marginalised communities. Through these initiatives, Cotlands ensures that ECD practitioners receive high-quality lesson plan play kits aligned with the National Curriculum Framework, vulnerable children develop essential cognitive and social skills that prepare them for formal schooling, and communities are empowered with the tools and training needed to foster early childhood education effectively.

This event is more than just a golf day; it’s an opportunity to make a real difference in the lives of children. The funds raised enable us to stock our toy libraries with much-needed educational resources and provide skills-based training to ECD practitioners, empowering them to create better learning experiences for children. With weekly lesson plan play kits aligned to the National Curriculum Framework, we’re equipping practitioners with the resources they need to prepare children for formal schooling. It’s incredibly rewarding to see the impact of these efforts as we help lay a solid foundation for a brighter future.
