The second Rotary International Charity Golf Day saw 10 teams playing a Texas Scramble team competition.

Guests were treated to horse riding lessons, golf lessons, wine and rakiya tasting, and food. An auction raised more than 2500 leva and the whole event raised 10 000 leva. The beneficiaries will be:

* For Our Children Foundation, supported by Sofia International Rotary Club, an organisation which works to prevent child abandonment and ensures family care for every child.

* A local project in Ihtiman supported by Ihtiman Rotary Club assisting and coaching local people out of work to re-train and develop new skill-sets in order to be in gainful employment.
